Deeply Divided

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. Matthew 12:25

It is a public event and many are watching when one leader refuses a handshake from the other and in response that other tears up the speech for all to see. Anyone can see there is a leadership problem when this happens, and you do not need me to point it out to you. I just did anyway, but you still didn't need it. 

Our nation has seen deep divides before, and the cure in a couple of cases was deeply ugly with war and suffering all around. Might we who believe in our Lord Jesus suggest a different strategy this time? Might we suggest prayer to the Lord Jesus as a way to heal this divide? This will only point out another deep divide? You are so smart today, and you are correct. The left-right, Republican-Democrat and other political divides are almost nothing compared to the divide between the powers of this world and our Lord Jesus. It is so divided we know, that one day the enemies of our Lord will gather at a place called Armageddon. 

Our political divide is serious, and sometimes a bit childish on both sides, but we know of a divide much more serious and it has eternal consequences. 

In Christ we pray for healing of our nation, and in Christ we pray that all will believe in Him,
