We need each other

Philippians 2:2 (ESV)

Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

If you look at the ant you will find that they dwell in colonies.  Each colony consists of approximately 60,000 - 90,000 ants -- they really can't prosper on their own.   They need each other.  How does a colony of that many ants to work together?   The only reason it works is that they operate in unity.  Each ant shares the same purpose, the same goal, and the same aim.

Just as ants can't prosper on their own, neither can we as believers.  As ants need each other, so do God's children.  We need to dwell together as they do.  The way we dwell together is by sharing the same purpose.  We don't have to agree on when the tribulation or rapture is going to happen.  Those are all secondary things.   But we do have to be intent on the same purpose, to glorify God and spread His Word, to love God and each other.  Let's aim to accomplish the task that God has set before us and  God will be faithful bless our colony!

We can't let the ants put God's people to shame! Stay encouraged and focused on the ultimate goal!

Dear Lord, help us to have the purpose to glorify You and spread Your word to those around us. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
