Working Together

Walking in the Word

Romans 15:5-6

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

 ⁵ May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, ⁶ so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

  

Responding to the Word

One of the sports I played in college in Western, Maryland was Rugby.  Now if you don't know what Rugby is, it's like playing tackle football with no helmet and strange rule.  Instead of throwing the ball to one another, you "pitch" it.  Instead of always having to "pitch" the ball up the field to gain better position, you can "drop-kick" it.  That's were the ball hits the ground before connecting with the foot.  My favorite was the "scrum."  That's were the eight forwards of each team would lock heads in order to gain the ball.  The one thing each team needed in a "scrum" was unity.  Everyone had to be working together or else the entire scrum would collapse.  As a fellow believer, you and I are part of a team where we come together to "Glorify the Father!"  And when we do that together, I believe all of Heaven moves.

 

Praying through the Word

Father, what a great day it was in worship yesterday at Plant City's First Baptist Church.  Thank you for the opportunity offer my praise to a wonderful and fascinating God.  Lord I ask you to lead me in your will and ways.  God, I lift up Mrs. Mary Hallman to you for complete healing and health.  May she feel your presence today.  In Jesus' Name, Amen
