Abide vs Divide

Every time we look at the news there is such division in our world.  One side is downing the other, making terrible accusations and causing people to be in turmoil over what they are hearing.  Especially in politics, this is true.  If we spent as much time with the Lord every day as we spend watching the news or reading it, what a different world we would live in.

God’s Word is always truth.  We never have to judge if it is right or wrong.  Satan always seeks to divide.  That is the number one way to destroy families, churches, friends and of course the world we live in.  Division always brings strife.  Strife leads to bitterness and then hatred.

We need to spend more time abiding instead of dividing.  Abiding simply in plain terms means to act in accordance with or to accept without trying to change something.  If we would pray, read God’s Word, concerning decisions or ways of thinking, then we could rest in the fact that even though things around us are contrary, we would be content to abide in what God’s Word says about the subject.   And, most importantly, love those who are deceived and breed strife and discontent, because they know not the truth.  The Word of God is truth.  It never changes.  Get into it.  Read it and pray about it and then if you are thinking contrary, you need to change the way you think.  The only real truth in today’s world is the Word of God. Abide.
