A powerful word that helps us navigate life is:
PROVIDENCE
Providence is an English word that comes to us from Latin.
“Pro” means “before” in Latin.
“Videre” means “to see” in Latin.
Providence is the ability “to see before” an event happens and prepare accordingly.
GOD is the English abbreviation of “good.”
GOD is good because of His “providence.” The Creator sees “in advance” what His people need, and He “provides” for them.
Providence births provision.

Nations around the world are turning against Israel in 2023, not just Germany.

Could it be World War III commences within the year?
I pray not.
However, my faith is in the Prince of Peace. I understand that God is good, and His Providence abides over His people.

Be prepared.
Be trusting.
The God of the universe is a Providential God.
Trust Him.
