Union

Zechariah 11:6-7 - For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the LORD. “I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.” So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.


Ezekiel 37:18-19,24,26 - “When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph—which is in Ephraim’s hand—and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick. I will make them into a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’…“‘My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees…I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them forever.

Application:

· Am I one with other believers in the hand of God?
· Do I follow God’s laws and keep His decrees?
· Do I have an everlasting covenant of peace with the Lord?
