United We Stand, Six Feet Apart



Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalm 133:1

Today’s title sounds like an oxymoron. How can we truly be united standing apart?

I want to talk about unity. Our fractured nation right now is reeling from orchestrated rioting, bashing law enforcement, perceived racism fueled by being misinformed and trusting the media and the ever present masking controversy has ignited the fire causing friends and family to be at odds with each other. This country is playing right into the hands of Satan. 

James 1:19 is a favorite verse of mine which simply states “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” Realize this is Satan waging war and having many believing news more than trusting in God and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide them.

Before you get upset this is not an anti masking writing but simply stating how believers need to gird themselves with the word of God which is part of your armor and recognize many attacks originate from and being kind and loving is what followers of Christ need to do even when provoked. Do not engage in arguments which don’t do anything but hurt your witness. Love one another. Pure, plain, and simple. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus help me to be a good representative of your kingdom in these unprecedented times. Let me shine your love to a hurting and confused world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

  1. We can stand united in heart. People get 'wrapped around the axles' with their own thoughts, desires, and plans. But, if our hearts are controlled by Jesus, we can stand united with others no matter the physical distance between us.
