For the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. Micah 7:6
Can’t seem to gather my thoughts, it happened so quickly or did it? It’s hard to tell what’s going on, I can’t locate the others. I remember coming here together, but I can’t remember how we got separated. Finally the smoke is clearing; I can just about get my bearings. Wait are those bodies over there, and who’s? Oh no, it can’t be! My wife and children are dead. How did it happened, what went wrong, why didn’t we stay together? Now they’re gone forever…
This scenario sounds just like a movie, but in reality it happens every day. The American Family is dying because of Division. The war against the enemy has turned us against each other, no longer are we concerned with the strengthening of our families, (which has become a thing of the past), instead we are now focused on our individual selfish needs. We have been fooled into believing we can accomplish more by doing things on our own. We have come to believe that we should only be responsible for and to ourselves, and no one else and now our families are suffering as we seek self fulfillment. This war is no longer against the enemy, it is now husband against wife, child against parent, and our families are being destroyed from the inside out. What have we really gained in all of this, why are we so willing to sacrifice our families for nothing?
Is it possible for us to regain the Unity of Family? Can we mend the brokenness, which has caused so much chaos in our lives? Can we stop placing blame and begin to concentrate on the healing process? The enemy seeks to divide and conquer, and even though splitting up allows us to cover more ground, it leaves us vulnerable to attack.
