Scripture: Psalm 33:10-11
"The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation."
Commentary:

The Scripture makes clear that, no matter the calculations or agreements between nations, it is God’s purpose that endures beyond political maneuvering.
