Thought for Friday October 10

The Lord will remember his covenant for ever.
Majesty and glory are his work,
and his justice endures forever.
He has won renown for his wondrous deeds;
gracious and merciful is the LORD.
The Lord will remember his covenant for ever.

Luke 11: 15 – 26 “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste and house will fall against house.”

What divisions am I part of? Would I give up fighting to be “right” if it could heal a division?

Action: Get involved in healing a division in your family, neighborhood, community or country. You can start with something simple like inviting the “black sheep” in your family to a get together he would normally be excluded from.

For some reason this brought to mind the song we used to sing in our youth group back in the day....

We Are One in the Spirit.
We Are One in the Lord.
...And we pray that all Unity will one day be restored...

We will walk with each other.
We will walk side-by-side.
...And we'll guard each man's dignity & save each man's pride.

...and they'll know we are Christians by our Love.

Seems like the best I can do is to ask God's help to get my ego out of the way in order to follow His Way more closely....and to promote His Love by the inclusion of all other of His Children.

Thanks for the daily thoughts!

I remember that song well. I haven't heard it in years though. I wonder why.
