The kingdom of Israel was no longer divided. Although it was a long time coming, it grieved the people and us to see. It shows us the division that can occur in any place (work, home, & church). This division is true in our relationship with the LORD. True unity with God only comes through Christ’s death for sinners like us. We pray for unity in His name and seek Him whose name is above all names. “Lord Jesus Christ, as You took all the sin of the world upon Yourself, we pray that we may look to You to bring healing and reconciliation to our divisions. We thank You for the restoration with God the Father by Your cross and seek Your help to live holy lives in service to others. In Your name. Amen”
