Throughout history many wars and conflicts were ignited by arguments over sacred space. Specific cities or areas held deep religious significance to multiple groups and arguments over these sacred spaces led to conflict and bloodshed.  The ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine is the result of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim groups all seeing Jerusalem as a profoundly sacred space.

Reflect today upon the areas in your life that you consider to be ‘sacred space’. If possible, spend some quite time in your ‘sacred space’ praying for those whose sacred space is threatened and those who are affected by the violence in these areas.

Peace,
Pastor Nate
