we

Opening Prayer: How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. (Psalm 133:1-3, NIV)

Scripture: Psalm 133

Journal: Do you typically think in terms of “I” or in terms of “we?”  What will it take to make the leap from I to we?

Reflection:

     we

the leap

from i to we 

is a large one

indeed

it takes courage

and conviction

to lay aside

our opinions 

and preferences

for the sake of unity

living as we

invites us into 

the very life of God

to live like the trinity

a life of fullness and blessing

that cannot be attained 

by flying solo

we puts an end

to individualism

and isolation

in favor of

community

and commonality

so jesus asks us today

will you lay aside i

so you can receive

the blessings of we

will you take the leap

Prayer

Closing Prayer: How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in peace! It is like the finest oils poured on the head, sweet-smelling oils flowing down to cover the beard, Flowing down the beard of Aaron, flowing down the collar of his robe. It is like the gentle rain of Mount Hermon that falls on the hills of Zion. Yes, from this place, the Eternal spoke the command, from there He gave His blessing—life forever. (Psalm 133, The Voice)
