Today is a new day. A new reality. One we’ve prayed and longed for. And though painful, this moment carries deep spiritual clarity.
Last night, darkness was challenged—not by hatred, but by the strength to say: enough. We won’t let it rule our lives any longer.
For decades, the Islamic Iranian regime has waged war—not just on Israel or America, but on the very foundations of Western civilization we hold sacred.
On the Parliament floor, they called Israel “the little Satan” and America “the great Satan.” And they meant it. Because what they hate is not only a people or a place—but the light of Judeo-Christian values: the belief that life is sacred, that freedom is holy, and that God created every person in His image.
These values—justice, compassion, dignity, and truth—are what extremists fear most.
But evil doesn’t just live in Tehran. It seeps into silence and compromise. Into institutions. Into families.
This is spiritual warfare. And if we don’t name it, we risk forgetting what we’re truly fighting: not just missiles and regimes, but the slow erosion of truth—the unraveling of our moral and spiritual foundation.
This is the deeper battle: not just to protect land, but to protect light.
Scripture tells us:
“Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.” (Psalm 34:14)
Peace isn’t passive. It requires action and courage.
And it tells us:
“The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” (Psalm 29:11)
Peace and strength are one. Strength without peace is empty. Peace without strength is fragile.
We are pursuers of peace. But sometimes, pursuing peace means standing with everything we have against the forces that seek to destroy it.
I don’t want to run to bomb shelters. I don’t want to see my people suffer.
But if we’re not willing to pay the price for freedom, we’ll pay it for barbarism.
Light always triumphs over darkness—even when it flickers. Good always prevails—even when it bleeds.
May the God of peace bless us with strength.
May the God of strength bless us with peace🙏🏽
