Morning by Morning, February 3 - "With One Voice" United by the Word and the Spirit
Good morning, Lord Jesus. Keep my heart clean and my spirit right, as I seek to begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. ...
"Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 15:4-6).
Thank You for "the encouragement of (Your) Scriptures (that) we might have hope." Thank You for the unity of Your Spirit that we might "with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." For it's Your Word and Your Spirit that unites us as one -- not the words of men or the spirit of this world, not any person or political party, and certainly not the lowest common denominator of some kind of watered-down version of Your Word or wishy-washy version of Your Spirit. We're united in You alone!
Unite us as one, Lord! Unite us as one with You and with one another in the bond of Your Spirit. "Anyone united to the Lord become one spirit with Him" (1 Corinthians 6:17). "There is one body and one Spirit, just as (we) were called to the one hope of (our) calling, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all" (Ephesians 4:4-6).
From every tribe and tongue and nation in our generation and in our time to be alive in this brief sliver of eternity, where You created us and called us and honored us to be Your messengers of Your Word and carriers of the Presence of Your Spirit for such a time as this, may we be one! "Together with one voice" may we glorify You and stand firm for You in the face of everything that's being aligned against You. For the world is not as much aligned against us as it is actually aligned against You and Your Word and Your Spirit. As You said, "Whoever listens to you listens to Me; whoever rejects you rejects Me; and whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me" (Luke 10:16).
So in "steadfastness" and full of "encouragement" may we be found faithful in the challenges of our day, just as those who have gone before us were steadfast in Your encouragement in their day. When we are grounded in Your Word and filled with Your Spirit we are "ambassadors for Christ, since God is making His appeal through us" (2 Corinthians 5:20). Now, by the power of Your grace moving in us, let our hearts be strong, our faith be firm, and our voice be heard! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
