“John spoke up, ‘Master, we saw a man driving out demons in Your Name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn’t belong to our group.’ Jesus replied, ‘Do not try to stop him, because whoever is not against you is for you.’” – Luke 9:49-50
Don’t we all tend to sometimes reject people because they are not part of our group? Or because we differ in race or denomination? We need to remember that we are all part of the same team, a winning team, a heavenly team. We are part of God’s team! It is not about the colour of your skin, or the suburb you stay in. And it is not about which church you attend on a Sunday, or the social club you belong to. It is about your heart, and your love for God and His people!
Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, You know my heart. And You know where I fall short, where I fail You, and where I judge. Please renew my spirit, and help us to come together in Your Name. Let us unite in prayer for our country, and for its leaders. Because we know that You are in control, not the enemy. And let our message to those around us be clear, that it is not about any one of us, but all about Your Kingdom. Amen
