Scripture: Proverbs 16:7 (NASB 1977)
"When a man’s ways are pleasing to the LORD,

Commentary:
Pressure over the Strait of Hormuz shows how quickly trade and security get tied to diplomacy. It’s a narrow waterway, but real livelihoods ride on those shipping lanes. Leaders can threaten delays, meetings, and alliances to force cooperation, yet Scripture points to a deeper hinge: the Lord governs peace even between rivals.
