Bet is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet and the first letter of the Bible: Bereshit — “In the beginning.” While Aleph reminds us that God is one and first, Bet shows us where His presence longs to dwell: in the house.
Unity doesn’t live in lofty ideals; it lives in the places where we gather, eat, talk, and share life. Bet calls us to turn our homes, churches, and communities into dwelling places of peace.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1
“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but… members of the household of God.” — Ephesians 2:19
Reflection
The house is where unity is either nurtured or destroyed. It’s where forgiveness is tested, patience is required, and love is made real. Bet reminds us that unity is not abstract — it is embodied in daily life, in the walls and tables where we welcome God and each other.
Community Practice
Today’s step is hospitality:
Invite someone into your home, workplace, or fellowship circle. Share a meal, coffee, or even a conversation that says: “You belong.” Make the table not a battlefield of opinions but a sanctuary of peace.
Prayer/Declaration
“Lord, build our houses into places where Your Spirit dwells. Let every door we open be a door of reconciliation, and every table we set be a table of peace.”
Story
A family in one community began setting an extra plate at dinner each week, praying, “Lord, who will fill this seat?” Over time, neighbors, students, and even strangers were welcomed. One guest said, “This table was the first place I felt like I was part of God’s family.”
Bet invites us to see every space we inhabit as a house for God’s peace. As we continue Aleph to Tav, may we become builders of households where unity takes root.
