There is a war museum in Ho Chi Minh City. It has brutal reality. U.S.A couldn’t win the war against Vietnam which caused suffering to many people for a long period of time. After the end of the Vietnam War, China made inroads into Vietnam but China withdrew all military forces from there in a brief period of 1 month.
It means Vietnam didn’t lose to two big powers, U.S.A. and China. Maybe because Vietnamese were patient and had a tactic but we can also say that these two countries were just arrogant. Especially, China may have thought that they can win because they have force power and Vietnam had a long war. The Bible warns us that boastfulness leads to destruction. Needless to say, a war leaves deep scars to both countries but why can’t we avoid wars?
The Bible also tells us boastfulness is the origin of fight. Do you have any fights around you? In your family, between your partner, between your friends, or at your church. It might be impossible for individuals to avoid arguments but the Lord’s will is to repent our boastfulness and avoid arguments around us.
Proverbs 13:10
