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. [psalm 133:1-3]

 

may the LORD pour out eternal blessings through Jesus Christ as you sit in his voice today.

 

come LORD speak.

come LORD look in and convict my heart of righteousness – that is there alone because of Jesus and his work.

come LORD look in and convict my heart of sin – that is there alone because of my flesh that fails me.

come LORD look in and call my heart to greater unity in the body – with my family and with those in the your body.

come LORD look in and call me to joyful repentance – that is only possible by your Spirit.

 

[even now – reread the word above and let the LORD do all of these actions above. read, wait, listen, then respond.]

 

come LORD, by the power of your Spirit – convict, cut, renew, call, and lead me into eternal blessings that only come by your presence.

in the name of Jesus, God’s only son, who gave himself for our unity with God and his body – amen!
