Have you ever tried to walk in two directions at once? It’s impossible.
Imagine standing at a crossroads, one path leading toward God’s kingdom
and the other toward the world. Many of us try to keep a foot on both paths,
thinking we can balance our love for God with our attachment to worldly
things. But eventually, we’re forced to choose—because a divided heart
cannot stand. Jesus spoke a powerful truth when He said, “A house divided
against itself cannot stand.” We see this principle everywhere—nations
collapse under internal strife, families fall apart when unity is broken, and
even churches weaken when division takes root. But the most dangerous
place division can occur is within our own hearts. Too often, we try to serve
two masters. We want to trust God, but we also want control. We desire
holiness, but we still chase worldly pleasures. We long for peace, but we
cling to worry and doubt. This internal battle leaves us weak, exhausted,
and spiritually unstable. But Jesus doesn’t call us to half-hearted devotion.
He calls us to full surrender. Today, we’re going to examine what it means
to be “a house divided” and how we can build our lives on a foundation that
stands firm in Christ. The choice is before us—will we be fully devoted to
God, or will we remain divided?
