Scripture: Proverbs 20:22 (NASB 1977)
"Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
Wait for the LORD, and He will save you."

A holiday ceasefire tests whether leaders can restrain retaliation when the temptation to answer violence with violence is strongest. It’s hard to trust a pause that lasts only a day or two. People near the front lines know how quickly “quiet” can break with one shell or drone. Scripture’s counsel is clear: don’t build your hope on payback.
