TUMBLING WALLS

It is said “love is blind,” but it is contempt that truly blinds. Those given over to hatred and offense will believe anything that reinforces their ire, regardless of how preposterous the accusations may be. Like the walls of Jericho, a stronghold of deep-seated animosity fueled by bitterness is practically impenetrable. The solution for each of us is the same as it was for the biblical city; a combination of human obedience and divine intervention made the difference. Glorious Lord and King, tumble down every wall of contempt in my heart. Sound the trumpet of Zion that I may march forward in victory.
