@bethany Also, I couldn't help but notice the emptiness in the eyes of the boys. It's not natural for little boys to sit and study all day. Children need to play, to laugh, to learn all kinds of things! What are they learning from the Koran?? 💔 How are these boys being treated? Years ago I saw a video that showed an Islamic "school" where the children were writing on (I think) slate tablets and washing them in a trough with water that they would then drink. A little boy was being whipped mercilessly. It was heartbreaking. There is so much suffering in this world. It's obvious males are given preference, but that doesn't mean they're happy or truly satisfied. The only true peace comes from JESUS.

For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion: In the covert of his tabernacle will he hide me; He will lift me up upon a rock.
Psalms 27:5 ASV

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, remember well these two verbs present in this verse:

1) to keep
2) to hide

God has the power to keep and hide his children redeemed with the precious blood of Christ.

For in the day of trouble
he will keep YOU secretly
in his pavilion:

In the covert of his tabernacle
will he hide YOU;

He will lift YOU up upon a rock.

This is a promise to those
who feel in danger!

"This is what I mean, brothers: The time is short. From now on, those who have wives should live as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they did not mourn, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they did not own a thing, and those who use the things in this world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away."
1. Cor. 7: 29-31.

Look to Jesus! Cling on to Him! Make Him your absolute and ultimate goal! This world is fading. Our hearts should be so sealed in Him, so that whatever we do, have or own in this life, it won't shake or distract us away from the Rock we're standing on. By standing firmly on that Rock, Jesus, we are showing the Light to people around us to also join us there. To find true life. And that Rock will NEVER shake.

so excited about sharing in Stockholm this weekend!

More than 700 houses have been set on fire in two days in three Myanmar villages, including Gwe Bin Kone, in Shwebo township, Sagaing region. Residents of Hna Ma Sar Yit village said more than 500 houses were destroyed in a fire after the military entered the village!
All being pushed by China & no one says anything about it!

And Myanmar.

Been thinking about this today, as #Ukraine coverage blares around the clock.

Prayers up for humanity.

Conflict in 2021 was particularly concentrated in #Myanmar's Sagaing region, which accounted for over a fifth of all organized political violence events during the year

Where is the outcry!?
Oh-wait China is involved so no one talk about it!

But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
that I may declare all Your works.

It isn’t in Ukraine 🇺🇦. It’s in #Myanmar. More than 700 houses have been set on fire in #Sagaing Division in #Myanmar, including Gwe Bin Kone.

By the way the government of Myanmar is being funded by China and barely ANYONE is talking about it because it doesn't fit with the narrative of what the US is pushing!

In your first language you most of the time hear what's correct. But when you learn a second language you don't always trust your knowledge... I was unsure if there should be a definite article before Ukraine - so I googled and found this enlightening article. The correct name is Ukraine, without a definite article (the).

Many Russians flee Russia by train to Finland. In a war everyone is a loser. We are all sisters and brothers. There are many Russians living in Finland, and many experience more bullying or harrassment, because of what's going on in Ukraine. That's too sad.
