IN TOUCH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 9 OCTOBER 2022, SUNDAY
Sunday Reflection: Unique but United
Do you see people’s differences as a barrier or a benefit?
Dr Charles Stanley Devotional October 8, 2022
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the scriptures referenced throughout.
To continue with last Sunday’s theme, imagine if all people were alike. We would read the same books, listen to the same music, and eat the same foods. We’d have the same opinions and think the same thoughts. We’d also have the same limitations. How unbelievably dull—and dangerous—that would be.
Thankfully, as believers, we’re called to unity, not uniformity. Unity is “the state of being united into one.” Uniformity, on the other hand, means “overall sameness.” See the difference? The first allows for the possibility of “iron sharpening iron” (see Proverbs 27:17), while the second gives only the illusion of harmony and safety.
That’s why Jesus prayed His disciples would experience the Trinity’s unity: “The glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity” (John 17:22-23). This means we can enjoy our differences and the oneness of being found in Jesus. What a blessing!
Think about it
Do you tend toward uniformity or unity? How can you move closer to the latter?
Bible in One Year: Matthew 19-21
