“The Lord shall preserve you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul, The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth and even for evermore.” Psalm 121:7-8

Too often we hear some governmental official blaming an adversary of flirting with WWIII. My head spins when I truly think of that actually transpiring. A world war at this stage of our existence doesn’t provide for any future war. With the weapons of mass destruction unleashed by each country in an effort to survive would mean the end for all of us. My head may spin, but I’m grateful that my heart tells me something very different. Here goes….
There’s only one hope for mankind and it’s found in the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. The Bible shares so many scriptures that dispel a world war as the way His disciples and followers will end. There’s the dividing line of good and evil in John 10:10. It says, “The enemy (satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy; but I (Jesus Christ) have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.” It also says in Prov 21:1 that God is in control and can change a man’s mind and heart.
Another hopeful sign was when Jesus resurrected and God promised to send us His Spirit of Truth. He also promised that Jesus would return one day to celebrate victory regarding His Ultimate and Holy Foreign Policy.
Friends, the song’s lyrics “He walks, with me and He talks with me and calls me His own” must be amplified within us these days. Walking with Him, like His past disciples, is our greatest protection. Enlisted by His Spirit and aligning with His will, there is nothing that can undermine His foundation, upholding, direction, and cover in our lives.

As for me and my house, we choose walking with Jesus because He’s our only hope, and He’s coming back soon. In the meantime, His Spirit is here with us and in those of us who choose to be born again. May this helpful symbol be a prompt for a life style that relies on and honors the One who Created us to walk with Him; not in fear of a temporal world war, but in His victorious uniformed army, decorated in divine and eternal relationship.
