Think on this: “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plans to his servants the prophets.” … ” When he the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell what is yet to comes.” (Amos 3:7; John 16:12-13)
Pray on this: Gracious Heavenly Father, give eyes to see and ears to hear what you are doing in our world today — according to the Scriptures. Thank you for the promise that you keep your people informed on what you are doing. In Jesus’ name.”
I would disagree with the quoted analysis of the Syrian situation. IT was Obama’s threat that caused Putin to move in the right direction. That pressure caused Syria to seek a solution that would not get them BOMBED. Also, The leaders of Syria are all subject to being charged with War Crimes and that is a whole different pressure point. So to give credit to Putin is misleading.
Personally; PUTIN, and OBAMA are two individuals, two government leaders I wouldn’t trust as far as I could throw them. But praise GOD, HE can be and HE is in complete control of every situation.
