JEREMIAH 30:20 (ABP)
I will reestablish their community — and favor it.
PHILIPPIANS 2:1-2 (NLT)
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God's priority is that we live together as a harmonious community.
DAILY FODDER
What causes us to deprioritize harmonious community?
PRAYER
Glorious God, you live as the harmonious community of the Holy Trinity and you've invited us to participate in your common life. Frankly, though community isn't really a big deal in my life. Help me to take Paul's words from Philippians 2 to heart. To the degree that I have influence I'm going to make our fellowship in the Spirit a priority. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
