14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
Consciously or unconsciously before we know Christ there is a proverbial wall, a barrier between us and God. Some liken it to running from God. Others vehemently disavowing His existence. Nonetheless we are alienated from Him one way or another. Once the believer settles down and begins to learn of the true gentle character of God, the ultimate irony befalls the believer. That God's primary intent for us is to bless us, with the riches of such magnitude that we could never fathom ourselves.
That is when we realize the foolishness of our running. As He lavishes His blessings on us we begin to recognize the barriers that we used to have are all the more present in the lives of those around us who have not stopped to learn who He really is.
APPLICATION
To have the patience and grace to bear with those who are blinded by their barrier to God and to seek Him for the keys to their hearts.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
