Standing with Israel!

 I try not to get political in my posts but I ran across these verses from Isaiah today.  

Isaiah 41: 8-13 

8 But you, Israel, are My servant,

Jacob whom I have chosen,

The descendants of Abraham My friend.

9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,

And called from its farthest regions,

And said to you,

‘You are My servant,

I have chosen you and have not cast you away:

10 Fear not, for I am with you;

Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you,

Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against you

Shall be ashamed and disgraced;

They shall be as nothing,

And those who strive with you shall perish.

12 You shall seek them and not find them—

[e]Those who contended with you.

Those who war against you

Shall be as nothing,

As a nonexistent thing.

13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,

Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Just to be very clear, I fully support Israel in their war against Hamas.  I believe Israel needs to prosecute this war Old Testament style.  Maybe they should look to the story of King Saul to see what happens when you don't prosecute a war as God instructed.
