Looking at events ongoing in today’s world. It is not difficult to conclude there is no comfort for those who lack and are suffering. It all sounds like a scripted version of the trials that afflicted Job introduced as “a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing the Mighty One and shunning evil” (Job 1:1). Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Niger Republic decide to make forceful changes to the government of the day. The reasons for these changes are similar in content. This is happening when the Ukrainians and the Russians are at war, and threatening the supply of wheat to other nations of the world. The price of bread rises. While all of this is ongoing, Israel and the Hamas led Palestinians begin a series of battles that is gradually drawing other countries into the fray. Protest erupt in the United Kingdom, in Ghana, in Nigeria. Adding to the deaths from the war fronts, these protest are characterized by violence and looting. This is not comforting.
