Acts 17:26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
Here we have the proof text that all humans are God's creation. We are all one human family. The unity that would please the Lord is that which would stem from His desire to see us minister to and love one another... hmm sounds familiar, doesn't it? Think about being a father and looking down upon your little children whom you love so much each one individually and all collectively, would it not warm your heart to see your kids dwell together in harmony and genuine peace? Conversely would it not be sad or distressing to watch your children act destructively toward one another, or worse to see some of your children act selfishly with the blessings you have given them and become unwilling to help the others who may be desperate for help? From this, the epitome of the Father heart of God is where we derive our motivation to Matt. 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
APPLICATION
Lord help me to increasingly more learn of your heart and to align my own heart toward yours. In light of this I commit to memorize Matt 28:19-20 and to go on a hike tomorrow morning allowing this area of Scripture to be my meditation.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
