Psalm 133

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Coming down upon the beard,
Even Aaron's beard,
Coming down upon the edge of his robes.
It is like the dew of Hermon
Coming down upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the LORD commanded the blessing--life forever.

God is moving on our campus

Today, 13 missionaries from YWAM (Youth With A Mission), a Christian missions organization, joined some of us in morning prayer. Let us pray for their ministry here and seek to pursue God with the same kind of obedience. As I feel immensely encouraged by their presence today, here is a bible passage that embodies the principle behind the mutual encouragement that occurs within the body of Christ:

"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called--one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all in all." -Ephesians 4:1-5

Praise God! Like John the Baptist and Abraham, we are called to be witnesses of God who by passionate love pursues us, and to partake in a mission greater than we can now fathom.
