PSALM 13

Psalm 13:2  English Standard Version
How long must I take counsel in my soul ?

Let us continue to enjoy scripture
to receive the enlightenment we still need.

Psalm 13:3 New International Version
Look on me and answer, O LORD my God,
give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

The light of revelation shines more
for those who have something in store
in the stockrooms of their memories
because the Holy Spirit is able to bring to the fore
the most appropriate verses for the present moment.

Psalm 13:5-6  Revised Standard Version
But I have trusted in thy steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
I will sing to the LORD,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Because we are in  Christ
we turn to the Father
with the Spirit's cry of Love.

Those who are one in Christ
are participants in the collective struggle
and we do have solidarity,
the quality of being united and at one.
In practice we are at one in respect to;-
our sympathies, interests and aspirations,
especially our joint responsibilities in the will of God
according to scripture.
There will be one flock, one shepherd .  John 10:16 ESV

1st Corinthians 12:27  
Now you are the body of Christ
and individually members of it.

Ephesians 4:4 ESV
There is one body and one Spirit.

We are at one
with all who trust in the steadfast love of the living God.
The Spirit who lives in my heart to draw me to the Father
is also the Spirit present in all creation, the same Spirit
who groans in the heart of my brothers and sisters.

The silence in which we know God
is a fraternal silence
where there is neither thine nor mine,
but where ,
God deep within all of us
makes of us.....one heart and one Spirit.
