Threats from North Korea

4/4/13

Do Not Fear and Trust in the Lord

Many of you may be aware of the recent threats that Korean leader KimJongUn has made against the United States. He has warned that he is equipped with nuclear missiles that can hit the United States and is seen in videos authorizing attacks on Washington D.C, Los Angeles, and Austin, Texas. South Korea and Japan have an even greater threat due to their close proximity to North Korea. In Response the US has sent fighter jets to South Korea and the USS McCain equipped with a missile defense system to the Pacific. Even though I believe that North Korea will not attack the United States or South Korea because the United States would surely fight back and that would be certain suicide for North Korea. However, we must be vigilant and cautious. Even though there are these threats and we must stay alert, we must not fear this situation and be consumed by it. We must trust in God for he knows what is best and he has a greater plan for the end. Even though his plan may not be what we think is right, we must trust in God's will. If we trust in God then we will be at peace and no situation will deter us. This trust in the Lord should not only be restricted to this specific situation. We must trust in God everyday and in everything we do. Fear confines our ability to do certain things in life. Therefore with fear we cannot be able to be men and women fully alive.
