3 HOURS Bible Stories for Sleep - Is God in FAVOR of wars What the Bible REALLY Says About Wars

"How can the God of love also be found in stories of war?" This is one of the most difficult and honest questions a person of faith can ask. If it weighs on your heart, you are not alone. As you seek rest tonight, we invite you into a gentle, thoughtful, and pastorally-sensitive exploration of this profound topic. This is not a justification of war. It is a journey to find the heart of God amidst the harsh realities and historical contexts of a fallen world. With calm narration and a peaceful spirit, we will walk through the challenging passages of the Old Testament, seeking to understand—not with easy answers, but with a humble search for God's ultimate purpose. In this 3-hour meditation, you will explore: The difficult stories of conflict in Joshua and Judges within their historical and theological context. The heart of King David, a "man of war" who longed for a God of peace. The hopeful promises of the prophets, who foresaw a day when nations would "beat their swords into plowshares." How Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the final and perfect revelation of God's character, reframing everything that came before. Find deep, restorative sleep by resting in the ultimate truth of God's character, revealed fully in His Son. Peace is possible, even when we wrestle with the hardest questions.
