"How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity…for there the Lord has commanded the blessing…"
(Psalm 133:1-3, AMP)
So many people today desire God’s blessing in their lives, but did you know He commands blessing when we are at peace with the people around us?
As believers, we are called to work together in unity so that we can fulfill God’s purposes. We are called to serve one another in love and serve together in the house of the Lord. Is there someone in your life that you don’t quite get along with? The Bible says to pray for that person and go out of your way to be a blessing to them. It isn’t easy, but the reward is eternal. His blessing is everlasting.
Make the decision today to live in peace and unity with your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Look for common ground. Even if the only thing you can agree on is Jesus, focus on that. Focus on the love you have for God and for seeing people come to know Him. Live together in unity so that the world will see your love. Open the door to see His blessing in every area of your life.
Heavenly Father, search my heart today and see if there is anything that is keeping me from walking in unity with other believers. I choose love today. I choose peace today. I choose unity today. Help me to be an example of love to those around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Commit to Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed {Proverbs 16:3}
In order to fulfill your destiny, you have to make a plan according to God's purpose and stay focused to fulfill that plan. Wake up each day knowing where you're headed, which direction you're taking and what you are going to accomplish--and then stick with it! Don't allow the distractions and busyness of life get you off course. Ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing moving me towards my God-given destiny? Is this my purpose in life, or am I just wasting time being busy and not really making any progress? Proverbs 4:25 says, "Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead. Don't look to the left and don't look to the right. "Don't be distracted and spend your time and energy on things that are not helping you fulfill your destiny.
Remember, God's plans are blessed, and as you walk in His plan for your life, you will experience His abundance in everything you set your hand to!
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the plan that You have for my life. Help me set my schedule to accomplish Your will today. Thank You for the Holy Spirit who is my Comforter and leads and guides me into all truth. Help me honor You in all Ido today.
