Psalm 133:1 How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! (NLT)

Harmony is harder than it has to be. Too many people today prefer to sing solos.

A social media post making the rounds shows U2 adapting their song Pride (In the Name of Love) to honor the Israelis killed by Hamas terrorists as well as the Palestinians killed by Israel’s forceful response. (See it here: [https://bit.ly/46IrmQV])

We have attempted to live in harmony with our Black Dog for the last twelve hours or so. She awakened me around midnight with a politely urgent request to go outside. Then she did it again a couple of hours later. And again a couple of hours later. And again when my bride arose for the day and again just now.

She is appropriately apologetic. She does love us so. I will stop for yogurt on the way home from my early appointment with the shoulder surgeon. Millie the Black Dog and I understand one another and work together to keep from having to clean up a rather unwelcome mess inside our home.

You and I will have innumerable opportunities to sing solos today. We will make more beautiful music and cause fewer messes if we learn to sing in harmony.

Let’s sing together, and let’s make fewer messes.

I will learn to harmonize.

Our Father, we need more harmony and fewer solos. Remind us how working together works. Empower us to join hands, hearts, and high parts to make beautiful music that honors you and blesses others. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 65:1-2

Isaiah 65:1, 2
The Lord says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help.
I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’
to a nation that did not call on my name.
All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people.
But they follow their own evil paths
and their own crooked schemes.”

Daily D – Psalm 131

Psalm 131
Lord, my heart is not proud;
my eyes are not haughty.
I don’t concern myself with matters too great
or too awesome for me to grasp.
Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,
like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother’s milk.
Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, put your hope in the Lord—
now and always.

Daily D – Isaiah 55:8-13

Isaiah 55:8-13
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

“The rain and snow come down from the heavens
and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing seed for the farmer
and bread for the hungry.
It is the same with my word.
I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
You will live in joy and peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song,
and the trees of the field will clap their hands!
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow.
Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up.
These events will bring great honor to the LORD’s name;
they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

Daily D – Isaiah 50:4-5

Isaiah 50:4, 5 “The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom,
so that I know how to comfort the weary.
Morning by morning he wakens me
and opens my understanding to his will.
The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me,
and I have listened.
I have not rebelled or turned away.”

Daily D – Isaiah 48:17-18

Isaiah 48:17, 18 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the LORD your God,
who teaches you what is good for you
and leads you along the paths you should follow.
Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.”
