Bible in a Year :
Harmony is as refreshing as the dew.
Dr. Tiffany Gholson had seen crime impact her small American city of East Saint Louis, Illinois, in many ways. By 2023, however, the town recorded a 31 percent drop in homicides and a 37 percent drop in crime overall. What happened? A partnership. Working together, the city’s Public Safety Enforcement Group—including the state and city police, the city school district, and a faith organization—combined efforts to turn the tide for all citizens.
“We say it’s a marriage,” Dr. Gholson stated, with all members of the city partnership joining in to help citizens. The school district’s Wraparound Wellness Center, which she leads, involves school social workers, nurses, and staff to support kids impacted by crime or accidents. Other agencies share their strengths. Police commit to talk more with people on the street—and listen.
The psalmist David wrote, “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1). “Harmony,” David added, “is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon” (v. 3 nlt). David was referring to people who share a unifying faith in God. Rather than divided by doctrines or politics, we are one. The concept may feel elusive, yet it blesses all. It’s a beautiful goal for believers to show concern for one another—especially in our cities desperately in need of the love of Jesus.
Reflect & Pray
Where do you see a lack of unity? How might God be prompting you to promote unity by living out your faith?
Father, please help me by the power of Your Spirit to work for unity in my community.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
We are finally getting real rain...6/10s so far and it has started againl
And all the really dry spots I was going to have to water are getting a good soaking. I hope it rains all night and then quits in time for the festivities at LH.
Good evening, luvie, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours. Lots of prayers going up today for President Trump.
Thanks for the hymns...I dearly love Jim Brickman’s How Great Thou Art.
Prayers up fot President Trump, his family, and supporters.
It’s one of my favorites, too!
You’re welcome Kathy. Thank YOU and I hope you have a blessed Sunday, too! (((hugs))) And I hope you’re getting some rest!
Howdy, Kathy.
You’ve gotten some great rain today and it’s still coming down. I’m happy for y’all because you really need it. I’m jealous too. LOL It looks like it’ll rain for a while yet but be out by morning, as long as nothing else comes in behind it. I hope it works out that way. They spent a good part of today setting up tables and tents outside the Aviation Museum for tomorrow’s event. If the weather cooperates, it’ll be a fun time for all - - those who are there in person and those of us who watch from afar.
It was nasty-hot and humid here today. The next four days will be a little worse. They’re now saying next Thursday, on will be in the 80s! That will be MOST welcome!!
