Psalm 133
So, Lord, I pick up this publication to see what's in it. This month is dedicated to who is in charge in the church…meaning that there is adversity in the Body of Christ; turf wars over who is in charge of what; territorial conflicts over who should have the final say. Then, I pick up Your Word and today's Psalm starts off: How good and pleasant it is when brothers can live together! It ends with: For there (brotherhood) the Lord has appointed blessing--life forevermore. We tend to see more people avoid church in our culture than be drawn to it. The "blessing" of the Lord from our unity is missing.
What is missing is servanthood. What is missing is love. Forgive us, Lord, for our personal agendas, for our listening to and promoting gossip, for not loving others as You loved us.
Father, be glorified today -- I know You will, no matter what I do. But I'd like for my life to conform more readily to Your goodness and grace.
Lord Jesus, I want to abide in You today…walk with me, talk with me, sing with me. Fill me with Your Spirit. Be first, Lord, I am second…to other believers as well as to You.~
