Day 12 – Consolidate

Etymology – (1510s, “to combine into one body,” from Latin consolidatus, past participle of consolidare “to make solid,” from assimilated form of com “with, together” (see con-) + solidare “to make solid,” from solidus “firm, whole, undivided, entire,” from suffixed form of PIE root *sol- “whole.”

Meaning “to make firm or strong” is from 1530s; that of “to form into a solid mass” is from 1650s. Intransitive sense “to grow firm or compact” is from 1620s. Caxton (late 15c.) has consolid (v.), from French consolider. Related: Consolidated; consolidating.)

Philippians 2:2

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.

Selah – Reflect on the drawing by the spirit to consolidate in love.  Time and space seem so different when you know that you are purposely coming in to consolidate into one.   “Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”

Wisdom Nugget – Like ingredients consolidating in a recipe, our unity brings joy and completeness to our lives and those around us.
