Scripture Reading
Psalm 133:1
Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!
Reflection
The psalmist begins with wonder: "behold" — stop and look at this thing. Unity among God's people is not something we manufacture by resolving every disagreement; it is something we guard, nurture, and receive as a gift. It is also one of the most powerful witnesses the church offers a fragmented world. Where there is unity, God commands the blessing.
Prayer for Today
Everlasting Father, thank you that you are gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Your word says that when I pass through the waters, you will be with me, the rivers will not sweep over me, the fire will not burn me. As my grief
feels overwhelming, I ask that you would hold me secure. Remind me that your strength is made perfect in my weakness. May your love be the passion in my heart. May your joy be my strength when times are hard. May your presence
be my peace that overflows. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
