Is Our House Divided? 

JANUARY 26, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have come together before God and these witnesses to unite this man and this woman in Holy matrimony. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Most of us have heard those words or something like them, most likely at a wedding we have attended. What God puts together is not supposed to be taken apart. God does not put people together so He can later destroy their lives. God’s motives are always pure. In our passage today, Jesus was being accused of having a demon in Him that was casting out demons. As if Jesus, who genuinely desired to do good, would have at the same time genuinely desired to do evil. This would mean Jesus had divided intentions from the beginning. Christ would never have been able to bring people to Himself to free them, and save them from sin, if He were also of the devil, tempting people to sin. It is an idea that is self-destructive.

    This same principle of permanent unions and undivided intentions can apply in many areas in our lives today. For example, with God’s direction we should choose our mate well, because we are supposed to be with them a lifetime. Pick our church well. A church divided will struggle to serve God. Choose our work and service well. Struggling to do something God has not intended for us to do will be a long hard life. Choosing well and praying for God’s wisdom and guidance in all areas of life. A kingdom, or a life divided will fall.     

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    I guess the one I left out was picking our God well. You say, “What… pick My God? I did so a long time ago.” Well, if you gave Him your life, then you did. However, who are you serving today? Are you still serving the same God, or have you switched to a god the world has given you? Has work, money, or possessions become your god? Do you only serve the real GOD when you have a chance, when time allows, or it is convenient? Choose today to serve only One God. Then He will direct your paths and help with all your other choices.
