When called to confront controversial issues, most of us will be tempted to sacrifice personal integrity in a misguided attempt to maintain unity. Given our propensity to avoid conflict, it is important to remember that God values some things more than unity—things like obedience, truth and integrity. No matter how futile your efforts may appear, don’t give up. I’m convinced that every action counts and our involvement makes a difference.
“Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!”
— Psalm 119:5
Lord Jesus, give us the courage to do what is right no matter the cost. And give us the grace to act in love, not anger. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
