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

Lord,

It's obvious, that where there's unity, you bestow your presence and blessing.  It's equally obvious that where there's disunity, Satan bestows his darkness and evil.

Boldly and shamelessly, I ask you for an even greater outpouring of the Spirit of unity...not uniformity, but "the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace," (Ephesians 4).  Drench us with the humbling and unifying dew of the gospel.  We want to be sopping wet, not merely damp.  Saturate and satiate us with the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

We don't look to Aaron and his beard, but to you, Jesus, and your enthronement at the right hand of the Father.  You are our great High Priest who has received the Spirit without measure, so you can deploy Him without reservation.

Continue to heal us...reconcile us...and deploy us into your ripened harvest and broken creation together.

amen.
