Watch Out for Discord

In Numbers 16, a man named Korah led a conspiracy to rebel against the leadership of Moses. Korah was jealous of Moses and started sowing discord. Eventually, this one disgruntled man turned the whole nation against Moses and led to disastrous consequences. There’s nothing that God dislikes more than people that bring division. If there’s something you don’t like about your workplace, your friend, or your church, go to the people in charge and express your concern. Don’t go behind their back and start sowing discord, trying to get others on board.

Are you letting someone sow discord in your life, causing you to be bitter, discontent, and jealous toward others? Don’t sit there inactive while they try to convince you of everything that’s wrong with your workplace, with your spouse, or with your life. Disconnect from them, and don’t let their poison into your spirit. You have to be bold and say, “No, that’s not for me.” Don’t get on Korah’s side; stay on God’s side.

A Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You for such a clear word of warning to guard my heart against discord and division. Help me to honestly evaluate my relationships and make changes where there’s discord. Help me to disconnect from anyone who sows discord and gossip and finds faults. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
