Elections in Israel took place Tuesday to determine their Prime Minister and the nomenclature of their Knessett which is comparable to the United States Congress. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been re-elected, however, the road ahead for ease of government appears more challenging as opposing parties to Netanyahu's party gained more ground than anticipated.
Headlines in the Jerusalem Post outlined the election results but just below these results is a headline "Russian Foreign Minister says any attempts to prepare and implement strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities are a very dangerous idea." Probably the most difficult decision the new Israeli government has to soon make is whether to attempt to disable Iran's nuclear capabilities.
This has been a continuing difficult decision but becomes more urgent each day as Iran draws closer to full nuclear capability. President Obama asked Israel to wait until after the American election to make this decision. Iran has contiually threatned to destroy Israel for many, many years. We also need to realize Israel is surrounded by 18 countries with similar intentions towards them as Iran.
A reminder - 1Timothy 2:2 exhorts us to pray for those in authority but not just for those in authority over our personal lives but "all who are in authority." This newly elected Israeli government desperately needs our prayers for them to continually seek and receive Godly wisdom each and every day.
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Each Day!
