When you think about division, you probably think about separation. So on the surface, it seems paradoxical to say that God is into division. After all, God is about unity and adding people to his kingdom.

But if we look closely at the Scriptures, we can see that God made the decision for division a long time ago.

Division is apparent in his very essence and being: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit—three in one, one in three.

Division is also apparent in the local church: God has divided different gifts into people's lives to reflect his character and personality.

Each of us has been given specific talents and gifts for the purpose of spreading his Word. We have our gifts to help reach others for his glory.

Think about your life. What talents or gifts has God given to you? Use those gifts the way that he intended. Because after all, that is how his mathematical equation will ultimately be completed—through each of us using the gifts he has divided among us to reach people who count to God.

Be the church!
