Solidarity
Let’s take a good look at the way we’re living
and reorder our lives under God. ~ Lamentations 3:40 (MSG)
Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit. ~ 1 Corinthians 6:17 (NIV)
KEY THOUGHT:
When we are one with the Lord in thoughts, words, and deeds, we are truly living in solidarity with him.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, that you search me, know me, and transform me. Move me from my dark fears and suspicions to your bright proclamation. Take me from "I am worthless" to "I am precious," from "alone" to "united with you," from "judged" to "freed," and from "unlovable" to "beloved." In the unity of the Spirit, Amen.
