Recent military intervention in Venezuela highlights enduring tensions between the pursuit of national interests and biblical calls for justice, peacemaking, and respect for sovereignty. While Scripture urges rulers to act justly and seek peace (Micah 6:8, Romans 12:18), it warns against using power for selfish gain (James 4:1-3) and placing trust in military might (Psalm 20:7). The current events challenge believers to discern between just action and self-interest, advocating for solutions that prioritize human dignity and reconciliation.
