I Prayed have prayed

Give glory to God for the amicable and remarkable meeting between North and South Korea. Continue to pray for these nations, as experts urge a wait and see approach to the promises made by North Korean leader Kim.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. (Philippians 4:6)

It was a most extraordinary scene. The Korean dictator from the North walking alongside the democratically elected president from the South, parading through pomp as the world watched.

Kim Jong Un stepped across the world’s most heavily armed border, the first North Korean leader to do so since the Korean War, amid cheers – warmly greeting South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

Although the North and South are still technically at war, the leaders embraced, laughed and smiled like old friends.

After the summit, President Donald Trump tweeted, “After a furious year of missile launches and nuclear testing, a historic meeting between North and South Korea is now taking place. Good things are happening, but only time will tell!”

. . . But skeptics suggest Kim is only dangling disarmament to buy more time and ease though US sanctions to perfect its nuclear weapons while still collecting international aid.

Harry Kazianis, director of Defense Studies at the Center for National Interest, tweeted, “If there is one real lesson history screams out for us to relearn when it comes to anything #NorthKorea promises it is this: words are utterly meaningless.”. . . “Maybe it’ll be wonderful and maybe it won’t. If it’s not going to be fair and reasonable and good, I will, unlike past administrations, I will leave the table,” President Trump recently told reporters.

In a note at the summit Kim wrote, “A new history begins now – at the starting point of history and the era of peace.”

Time will tell. (Excerpted from CBN News, reporting by Jennifer Wishon.)
