1 Peter 1:7 – “These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold – though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So, when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”

Lord, you know and understand all the hopes of the humble and will hear their cries and comfort their hearts, helping them all! The orphans and the oppressed will be terrified no longer, for you will bring them justice, and no one will trouble them.”

Antisemitic attacks continue in the Netherlands and the many of the approximate forty thousand Jewish people there are fearful and considering if they should return to Israel.

Israel has described the October 7th attack as “the worst atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust”. This massacre of twelve hundred people is an act that most Islamic nations do not condemn. But as war continues in Israel against Hamas, Anti-Israel protester, not just in the Netherlands, but world-wide are attacking the Jewish people. Lift the Jewish people up in prayer that they would be protected from acts of violence and that they would accept Jesus as the Messiah.
