Divided We Fall

"Take counsel together and it shall come to naught; speak the word, and it
shall not stand: for God is with us." Isa 8:10


Our country is engaged in a battle for the very freedom our forefathers fought and died for. We as a society are generally unappreciative of what we have and we do not really understand what is at stake in the war against global terrorism. Although our all volunteer military lays itself on the line every day, we safe in our homes go about our lives and do not sacrifice alongside our soldiers and sailors. Consider the division of our politicians and interest groups battling over their slice of the pie while our sons and daughters bleed for our security.

Division is the Enemy's best weapon. We see it in families, people with addictions, and in our country. Those who isolate themselves are more susceptible to the words of despair and anguish spewed forth from the demons that wander around seeking whom they may destroy. God tells us that a house divided will not stand. The early church in the Book of Acts cared for one another both physically and financially. They would not let one of their own be alone. James 5:16 says that we are to "confess our faults one to another and pray for each other so that we may be healed." This scripture demands that we care for each other and do not let our brothers and sisters isolate themselves and fall prey to the Enemy.

Our nation needs to wake up and end divisiveness in time of war. We must stand together and sacrifice for the good of our nation. Its time all of us feel the pain of sacrifice and join together with our military brothers and sisters and fight for our freedom. The next time you fill up your gas tank think about the money you are spending to fund another roadside bomb. It is time we stop wasting gas and start praying for God's intervention. It is time we end petty political fighting and support the president in his efforts to end the tyranny of radical Islam. Tear down the walls that divide us before the Enemy establishes a stronghold.
