The Peace Out There

True peace isn’t found in external circumstances but entirely in God. While we may seek peace in relationships, situations, or the world around us, the lasting peace that Jesus offers is an inward gift, independent of what’s happening out there (Jn. 16:33; Col. 3:15).

The Winner No More

Japan’s recent election has reshaped its government, with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) losing its majority in the Lower House—a surprising shift after dominating Japanese politics for most of the years since 1955. This new coalition-led government will likely impact both Japan’s policies and the global stage, as Japan is the fourth-largest economy worldwide. While this news may be overshadowed by U.S. elections, it highlights the transient nature of earthly power. For Jesus followers, this serves as a reminder that while political shifts are temporary, God’s Kingdom is eternal. As Psalm 145:13 affirms, His Kingdom will endure forever, grounding us in purpose as we navigate the uncertainties of this world. We are called to invest in our eternal home, finding strength in the knowledge that God’s sovereignty surpasses all earthly powers.

For Christians, this time serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and ready, as Paul encourages in 2 Timothy 4:2. While governments may change, our mission as followers of Jesus—to spread the Good News and make disciples—remains steadfast and unchanging.
