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:
International meetings like this highlight just how much behind-the-scenes negotiation is woven into European politics, especially with Ukraine's situation pressing on the region. Leaders are often hopeful their strategies will bring about desired outcomes, but history shows that human alliances regularly shift.
