Upheaval

I'm sure most of you are aware that the Egyptian president has stepped down. Whether this is a good thing remains to be seen. I for one will be paying attention to developments in that country with great interest.

But... I do not want people to worry. The events will unfold as GOD has allowed. HE is still on the throne in spite of what some might say.

What I do suggest is for people to pray. Thus far the turnover though at times violent has not had bloodbaths that so many revolutions are famous for. Pray that this continues. Pray for wise and merciful leadership for that country. Pray for the Christians in that country for they are on the frontlines.

Pray for cool heads amongst the voters and decisionmakers. The Muslim Brotherhood, a faction seeking power, does not have the best interests of the region or of all of Egypt's people. Pray that their influence is mitigated and/or nullified by moderates in that nation.

Also pray for Israel. Egypt was the longest standing peaceful relation in the region. There is a sentiment that the peace Egypt had with Israel was really only with Mubarak. Pray that the peace continues in an honorable fashion.

The future of Egypt is unseen to us but not to GOD. Fear not and trust in HIM who holds all nations in HIS hands.
