14 Days of Devotion - Day 10: One People, One Direction

Reflect:
Restoration is made up of many different kinds of people—people of different ages and backgrounds. For us to become the kind of congregation God wants us to be we must have unity! Here the psalmist is talking about a different kind of goodness than what we get from pleasure or food. He’s talking about the goodness of God we experience when we are one people headed in one direction.

As we return to having services later this month, we must be mindful that our differences over politics, religious observance, or general petty disputes have the ability to allow divisiveness to gain a foothold in community. God wants us to learn to love one another unconditionally and to forgive each other liberally.

Prayer:
Lord, help us to seek unity regardless of any differences we might have. Help us to be unified, and to use that unity as an attractional force to draw people who are far from You into relationship with Your Son Yeshua. Amen!
