From the human perspective, all wars are fought for Politics, Power, Property, Pride, Pennies, Protection, Punishment, or Piety. From the biblical perspective, God allows war to fulfil His Plans and Purposes. All said and done, war always boils down to a humanitarian issue and the victims of war are always People – often poor and innocent people. So as a human, my first and immediate response should be to Pray for the Peace and Protection of all innocent People, no matter on which side. But it doesn’t end there.
