DAY TWENTY-FOUR

“How good and pleasant it is
when brothers 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 upon the collar of his robes. 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
Remember the television show M*A*S*H? It was based on an American emergency medical
unit in the Korean War. This group of
people was composed of some very different personalities. There was Hawkeye Pierce, B.J., and Father
Mulcahy. There was Colonel Potter,
Radar, and Hotlips Houlihan. They were
always playing jokes on one another and arguing over different political views
and the war. But there was always one
thing that brought these characters together.
It did not matter what particular argument was going on or what
particular practical joke was being pulled, when they heard the sound of the
choppers bringing in wounded, they always were united in the O.R.
In our day of hurting and wounded people, we cannot
afford to be one more church that spends all of its time arguing over things
that will not matter in the light of eternity.
We must bring our differences together and allow the Lord to merge them
in unity of the Spirit.
Just as Aaron, the high priest, was anointed on his
head and the oil ran down his body, so the Holy Spirit descends from our great
High Priest, Jesus Christ. Anointing
always brings harmony.
Prayer Focus: Pray that,
throughout the fulfilling of this dream that the Lord has given Fredericksburg
Wesleyan Church, we will experience genuine harmony resulting from the Holy
Spirit’s presence among us. Ask God to
show you specific ways that you can contribute toward the unit of believers at
Fred Wes.
