Devotional: Day 619

Greetings,

Did you know that God has strong feelings against those who bring division among His people?

Romans 16:17 (NKJV) – “Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.”

Why do you suppose this is such a sensitive matter to God? It’s because He remembers the division caused by Lucifer, His leading worshiper, in eternity past. He still remembers the pain, as if it was yesterday, when a third of heaven’s angels had to be cast out of heaven for joining the rebellion of His former angel of light. 

How do you think God feels about the terrible division in our world today? Even more so, can you imagine how His heart aches when He sees so much division in churches—from doctrine to politics—when the prayer of His Son was that “we would be one”?  

Father God, help Your people to be “one,” as You unite our spirits at the foot of the cross.  I pray that You would break our hearts with the things that break Your heart, and teach us to love the things that You love.

Today, I’m worshiping with Sarah Reeves and “Fall Afresh.” 

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Pastor
