Absorbing God’s Word
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” Psalm 133
Applying God’s Word
I grew up in a time when unity was a value; something handed down from one generation to another. Unfortunately, we do not see much of that any longer. We have let our rigidity, indifference, selfishness, and opinions destroy the beautiful gift of being united with one another. We let what we disagree on keep us apart instead of allowing the things we agree on to keep us together.
My cousin’s family has a tradition of coming together every Friday night. We have been to a few of their Friday night gatherings. It is a beautiful thing to experience. Okay, I am jealous.
This Fourth of July, Louise and I are praying that God will restore the value of unity in families around the world. Without unity we are lost and so is our world.
Accounting of God’s Word
Is unity a value to me? Have a safe and blessed Fourth of July.
