We need to hear what God says to us about recent events in Ukraine:

DO NOT PANIC, INSTEAD TRUST ME (1 Peter 4:12)

Rulers who oppose God and do evil will ultimately fail (Psalm 2:1,2,4; Philippians 2:10-11)

God uses evil to accomplish His purposes (Genesis 50:20; Acts 2:23-24; Romans 8:28)

Suffering is never a reason to doubt God’s love for us (Romans 8:35-39)

The horrific evil of war reflects the evil in our own souls (James 4:1-2; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10,23; 6:23)

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING

Continue to pray

Continue to make disciples

Continue to enjoy the simple blessings

Rejoice in hope because our true King is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise
