A number of headlines in the Jerusalem Post this past week show something very unique and interesting. As one might observe these headlines you might come to the conclusion that Iran has turned over a new leaf and desires to be a peacemaker in the world. Gaze upon the following headlines: "Iran Set To Shut Down Nuclear Site In Deal With West; Rouhani Urges World Leaders To Engage With Iran; Iran's President In Bid To Revamp Irans Image At The United Nations."
However, another major headline states "Israel Pushes World Not To Be Deceived By Rouhani." Israel's leadership urged the world last Thursday not to be fooled by Rouhani's smiles but to intensify sanctions against Iran. They further stated the same Rouhani boasted in the past how he deceived the international community with nuclear talks even as Iran was continuing with its nuclear program.
What does the Word of our Lord God say about deceitful intentions. Proverbs 12:5 says "The thoughts of the righteous are right, but the counsels of the wicked are deceitful." Additionally, Jeremiah 17:9-10 says "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, The Lord, search the heart, I test the mind." While Ephesians 5:6&12 says "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret."
I pray for the leaders of Israel and the United States each day asking The Lord to help them function within His Wisdom. I now plan to also pray they not be deceived by the evil intentions of evil leaders. Will you join me?
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Each Day,
Frank
