Our daily breadJoel 1:13-15; 2:1-2; Luke 11:15-26

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. Quite simply — and logically — together we’re better; we’re greater and stronger. With common direction and purpose, we are capable of great and otherwise impossible things. Our division hurts each of us as much as, if not more than those we rebuff. In rejecting any of God’s children, we snub any chance for our own communion with the Lord. We cannot realistically believe that we have unity with the Lord if we refuse to live in harmony with each other. That we may join together to do the work of the Lord, we pray.
