‘The
Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt My people,
Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel my heritage”’ (Isaiah 19:25).
‘There is neither Jew nor Greek… you are all one in Christ Jesus’
(Galatians 3:28). How, Lord, can people, who seem to be opposites, be
brought together? Jesus Christ brings them together. He breaks down ‘the
barrier’. He removes ‘the dividing wall of hostility’. We are brought
‘near’ to one another through ‘the blood of Christ’. Help us, Lord,
to come to ‘the Cross’ of Christ. There, at ‘the Cross’, we will find
each other. We will discover what it means to be ‘one body’ in Christ
(Ephesians 2:13-16). When Satan comes, creating misunderstanding,
filling our minds with suspicion and undermining our hopes of peace,
help us to remind him of Your Word, ‘You are all one in Christ Jesus’.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
