OUR WALK WITH GOD,
WORD OF THE DAY: "UNITE"
Scripture reference: a prayer of David, Psalm 86:11, Amplified Bible:
New Wilson's Old Testament Word Studies, defines "unite,"
Webster's Dictionary expands the definition of "unite," by saying,

David prayed that God would unite his heart together with reverence of His name.

Because our sole duty is to reverence God and keep his commandments,

How is learning unbelief and worldly ways going to teach us how to live
the Word better? We want to yoke up together with God, in Christ. We want

to reverence the Lord God and keep His commandments. This begins with uniting
our hearts together with His purpose; reverencing His name.
" I love the whole GOD'S WORD DAILY. It really motivates me to go out
and speak God's word to everyone and anyone."
