Scripture: Proverbs 21:31 (NASB 1977)
"The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD."
Commentary:
Conflicting reports after a shootdown and rescue highlight how quickly narratives become weapons. Fog of war is real. A pilot’s recovery can turn on minutes, weather, and disciplined teamwork, not headlines. Scripture puts the weight where it belongs: human preparation matters, but outcomes are finally in the Lord’s hands.
