King David, the man after God's own heart, said:
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1)
The 200 or so of us that gathered for Fredericksburg's National Day of Prayer event experienced that goodness and pleasantness. We ate together, worshiped together, and prayed together. We didn't manufacture unity. We discovered what already exists between brothers and sisters in Christ:
"So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another" (Romans 12:5).
"For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit" (1 Corinthians 12:13).
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).
Brothers and sisters from over 20 area churches experienced unity as we, together, focused our hearts on the one and only God. During the small-group time of prayer, I greatly appreciated the prayers of two guys in my group, and I don't even know where they go to church.
