One of the most surprising moments in the entire Halo series was when both the Master Chief and the Arbiter found themselves captured by the hive mind behind the flood, the “Gravemind”. In that moment, these hostile adversaries came to the realization that there was a much greater threat to their existence than the disagreements that brought them to this moment of clarity… the activation of the Halo rings that would result in the destruction of every life form in the universe. The bitter war they had waged against each other had to be put behind them so they could work together and battle the true enemy that had manipulated both of them into this position of division, and by choosing to move forward in unity, they accomplished the mission that neither of them could have achieved without the other.

As long as humans walk this earth we will find areas of disagreement to divide us, but our battles are NOT with flesh and blood… they’re with demonic principalities that set us against each other with a mission of destroying us all. With our TRUE spiritual enemy in mind, let’s align our hearts with the true mission of Christ, not the petty conflicts that are designed to distract us with smaller battles while we lose the war for souls. He came to seek and save, and if we are truly following Him, that’s our priority today, too.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
