Today there is a lot of talk about being on the “right side of history” on a variety of controversial topics. While we live in a divided time, how does it compare to the time when our country was divided by the War Between the States?

As I understand it, someone asked Lincoln if God favored the Union in the Civil War. His response was both wise and on the mark because God is truly always on the right side of history.

God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

Psalm 18:30

Scripture tells us that God’s ways are higher than ours. We often lack understanding of the big picture and so if our ways are not aligned with God’s plan, then we are in opposition to Him whether we acknowledge it or not.

So, how do we get off track in the first place? As I’ve thought about it, there is a question that has been asked from the very beginning designed to instill doubt in our lives. The third chapter of Genesis opens with the question “Did God really say…?” Give that some thought today.
