Scripture: Proverbs 21:1 (NASB 1977)
"The kings heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD;
He turns it wherever He wishes."
Commentary:
High-level negotiation can look like pure politics, but Scripture says the Lord can redirect rulers even when they project strength. Its not just messaging. People in Washington watch every press conference for signs of leverage or division. As pressure builds to curb Irans nuclear and missile programs, competing voices inside one administration show how fragile human plans are when war is on the line.
