May 15, 2020 Unite

 Reading: Judges 1-2, Psalm 133, and Colossians 2

 Scripture: Psalm 133, Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing, life forevermore.

 Thoughts: I this time of isolation, where we are encouraged to stay home and avoid touching and gathering, unity seems to have fallen out the window. Some of the things that come to mind when thinking about unity are the unions and the armed forces. The unions use the unified plan of those involved to keep the employees and the companies working together and both happy. The armed forces have to have a plan when they go into battle otherwise they will be defeated. We are at war and if we don’t have unity in the church and those whom can gather around each of us we will fall.

 Prayer: Father you are so wonderful I fall on my face before you and linger in your presence. I thank you for all you have done and the healing and health you are pouring out on us. I than you for your provision and blessings that are being poured out each day. I ask that you help us to see what unity we need to foster and how to become more united we you and each other though out the church.
