In this 5 a.m. devotional, host Nici Mathis unpacks James 4 to reveal why quarrels and divisions arise among God’s children. Through prayer, scripture study, and personal reflection, she shows how offense, envy, and unforgiveness create “sibling rivalry” in the body of Christ—and why the cross was meant to put enmity to death once and for all.
Drawing from Ephesians 2, Colossians 3, and RT Kendall’s Total Forgiveness, Nici challenges us to recognize when bitterness is at work, to stop rehearsing offenses, and to forgive others the way Christ forgave us. Like a parent grieved by their children’s fighting, God desires unity, love, and peace among His people.
This teaching is both a mirror and a mandate: to let the peace of God rule in our hearts, to walk in true forgiveness, and to pray for healing and revival in our homes, churches, and nation.
