A Song of Ascents. Of David. Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity<\/span>. – Psalm 133;1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReflection<\/h5>\n
Without seeming too preachy, we are in a battle with evil. We are bombarded daily with images and news that wants us to turn against each other. We may not have zombie horsemen or the undead coming after us like in the movies, but nonetheless, it is real.<\/p>\n
In Romans, we are instructed clearly to keep away from those who strive for division. These people are trying to take us away from the Lord. It doesn’t mean we can’t disagree and debate, rather those whose sole purpose is to divide rather than unite us. This is the work of Satan.<\/p>\n
In both the Mark and Psalms text, we see how important being unified is. Without that we fall. The hard thing is we don’t even see it when it happens. First a little rift, a bit if separation, and then before you know it, you are miles apart from those you love.<\/p>\n
We are not Knights of the Roundtable, but we are soliders in God’s army. We need to be together and love each other as he loves us. If not, then we will fall<\/p>\n
Charge<\/h5>\n
Do you see evil separating you from God and the ones you love? Are you one who casts division? It is easy to do. Ask the Lord for guidance on this. Help others see how words and actions fuel the devil and hinder the multiplication of God’s blessings.<\/p>\n
Prayer<\/h5>\n
Gracious God. Help us to recognize those who try to divide us and cast us upon each other. Teach us how to disagree without being disagreeable or causing division. Show us that only through unity will we be able to defeat the energy and achieve your goals for us. In your Glorious Name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
