Coming Together

One thing I love about being a part of the Lord's church is the opportunity to work together with God's people toward a unified cause. It is refreshing to team up with fellow believers and 'Go for it!' with God. Mission trips, goals, events, and other exciting things that require us to work as a team, strengthens the fellowship, helps us know each other more, and fortifies the Body for whatever may come.  It is fun to be a part of the church, especially when exciting things are bringing us together. 

I don't know if two men could have carried that cot, but I bet they could not have got the job done.  It took four. (www.lifejournal.cc).  Notice what it said:  Mark 2:3-4- And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. ⁴And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. There were four men who worked together for a common cause:  to get their friend to Jesus.  They would do whatever it took.  They carried him to the house...too full to get in the door.  They carried him up the exterior steps...no entrance on the roof.  They tore through the roof...little worry about the repair.   You've never thought about them having to come back the next day and fix the roof, have you?  That third dude on the left foot corner of the cot was a roofer.  He said to the others, "Just do it.  I'll fix it tomorrow."  (No, I can't prove that conversation went on nor that he was a roofer, but you cannot prove it's not true either.)  Regardless of the conversation, they worked together and got their friend to Jesus.  Not only was he healed physically, he was healed spiritually.  His sins were removed.  It all happened because a few men got together and decided to let God change an ole boy's life.  And God blessed their efforts.   He still blesses the efforts of  His People when they work together to change the world in which they live. 
Strive with God's people to change the world in which we live and let God give us the blessing of using us for His Honor and Glory....and let's do it TODAY!!   Enjoy the Lord today!
