Morning by Morning, August 3 - "Dwell Together in Unity"
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the center of who I am and all I do, as I seek to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ...
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing-
Life forevermore" (Psalm 133:1-3).
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing-
Life forevermore" (Psalm 133:1-3).
Unity is the opposite of division. Love is the opposite of hate.
We overcome the spiritual influences and attacks seeking to overtake and overthrow our communities and relationships, our hearts and minds, by walking in the opposite spirit. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). "Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it" (John 1:5).
Holy Spirit of the Living God, anoint our hearts and our land with Your spirit of unity. Heal us of our divided hearts. Deliver us from our double-mindedness.
No matter what prejudice or pride remains in our hearts, no matter what wounds or hurts remain to be healed, You can lift our eyes to the One who is our Healer and Deliverer. You can open our hearts to the One who is Savior of all.
Lord Jesus, You said, "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to Myself" (John 12:32).
Be lifted up in our hearts, in our communities, in our land. Be lifted up that brethren of every tongue and tribe and nation may be one, united in You, that it may be good and pleasant among all who are called by Your name. Then our hearts in unity with Your heart will make an impact in our land and will displace the principalities and powers seeking to divide us and conquer us, seeking to kill and steal and destroy us (John 10:10).
"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:27-28). "One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in all" (Ephesians 4:5-6).
Father God, when we turn to Jesus, one and undivided in our hearts toward You and one another by the moving of Your Holy Spirit within us, then You may command Your Father blessing upon us -- "Life forevermore!" Death and division will be displaced and You alone will rule and reign over our hearts and over our land. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My friend, may you and your community be blessed with our Father's blessing of "Life forevermore!" with the anointing of the Holy Spirit flowing down upon you to empower you and the Body of Christ around to you to walk in the opposite spirit of division and death, in Jesus name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend!
