The Egyptian-brokered truce
officially started at 9:00pm Israeli time, and while at least 20 rockets
fell after the deadline, the attacks slowed as the night progressed.
Many IDF soldiers and
civilians, especially from southern Israel, were not happy with the "We
cease...You fire" truce. Many feel that Israel needs to take the gloves
off and finish the job they started. Is this merely a temporary "pause"
in the ongoing conflict? Will Hamas simply use this time to regroup,
resupply their war resources, recruit new leaders, and re-ignite the
flames of hatred against Israel? Will Iran become DIRECTLY involved in
round two of this ongoing conflict? Time will tell!
Please don't miss two special reports:
A Story in Pictures: Our AMAZING Israeli Troops!
I close with Psalm 57. May
this be a prayer we pray over our Jewish brethren in Israel who are now
in the process of recovering from the trauma of an 8 day war:
"Show me favor, O Elohim, show me favour! For in You my being is taking refuge; and in the shadow of Your wings I take refuge,
Until destruction passes by.
I cry out to the Most High Elohim,
To El who is perfecting ALL matters for me.
He sends from the heavens and SAVES me;
He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah.
Elohim sends forth His loving commitment and His truth.
My being is in the midst of lions;
I lie among those who breathe fire,
whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue is a sharp sword.
Be exalted, O Elohim, above the heavens;
Let your glory be above ALL the earth."
Psalm 57: 1-5
In Yeshua's blessed name,
