John 17:6-26
English Standard Version
6 “I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8 For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them[b] in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,[c] that they also may be sanctified[d] in truth.
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

34 Thus did the people of Israel. According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they camped by their standards, and so they set out, each one in his clan, according to his fathers' house.

Psalm 68:7-14
English Standard Version
7 O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah
8 the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, before God, the One of Sinai,
before God,[a] the God of Israel.
9 Rain in abundance, O God, you shed abroad; you restored your inheritance as it languished;
10 your flock[b] found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.
11 The Lord gives the word; the women who announce the news are a great host:
12 “The kings of the armies—they flee, they flee!” The women at home divide the spoil—
13 though you men lie among the sheepfolds—the wings of a dove covered with silver,
its pinions with shimmering gold.
14 When the Almighty scatters kings there, let snow fall on Zalmon.

Observation
In Job 5 I liked what Eliphaz said about seeking GOD, and committing all that we do, all our cause which is our motivation, laying down the intents of our hearts to GOD because GOD does great and unsearchable things, HE is great, HE cannot cease to be great, but HE is merciful at the same time for int he next few verses, GOD sets on high those who are lowly and puts to safety those who mourn. GOD is not biased, HE is just, HE is faithful. But He loves man so much, so much so HE is obsessed with man that HE tests him every moment but at the same time, HE visits them every morning, which is exactly what I feel today because when I awakened to the morning, I really felt great in my body.
Application
I want to commit everything to GOD in prayer, all that I do HE is LORD of it, even my thoughts I lay it all down to HIM every morning, every day because I want to be ONE with GOD just as JESUS prays and intercedes for us to the FATHER in John 17 so that all of us who belong to HIM will be ONE John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. The world will not believe in JESUS if we are disunited and the enemy has been disuniting us successfully because those who carry GOD's name are separated into several denominations. But I will chose to submit to my leaders and be One with them. I will chose to give GOD glory so that I always have favor in GOD's eyes and that I will not be so broken hearted about many things but will always rejoice in HIM. It's better to be against the world than be against GOD.
