Partition walls - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:7

Partition walls
We know about partition walls from open-plan offices. They separate colleagues' desks from one another so that people can work with as much concentration as possible. At home, in the garden or on the balcony, there are privacy screens to create some degree of separation. Who wants their neighbour to look at what is on their dinner plate?

Walls separate people from people but also people from God. Many have built a partition between themselves and the Creator. They try to keep Him at a distance and banish Him from their thoughts. They think they don't need God and consciously and deliberately want to live their lives without Him.

Our Creator knows that we cannot be truly happy this way. Moreover, we will be eternally lost on this path. That is why He calls us to repentance. He wants us to break down the wall - that is, to give up our resistance to Him and enter into a happy relationship with Him. That is why God has the good news of the gospel proclaimed and spread. It can be summarised in a few words:

The Son of God came to earth 2,000 years ago as a human being so that people could be reconciled with God through the Lord's death on the cross. Everyone who personally believes in Jesus Christ is not lost but saved. This salvation brings about a perfect reconciliation with God and leads to a happy life with Him.
