We’re Better Together

We can’t seek solutions or expect to find answers to any of the problems we face without hearing the words the Holy Spirit whispers into our hearts and minds.

“You mortals, the Lord has told you what is good.
This is what the Lord requires from you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to live humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8 GW

When we stand with God, we take our stand alongside mercy and truth:

“Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne. Mercy and truth stand in front of you.” – Psalm 89:14, GW

The beauty of the body of Christ is in its diversity of gifts, skills, thoughts, and experiences. When we stand together in unity, we are more resilient as a body.

As you continue to navigate a future that often seems uncertain, you need the body of Christ to remind you that we are better together.

• We strengthen each other.
• We encourage each other.
• We learn from each other.
• We are dependent on each other.

As Paul prayed,

“We ask this so that you will live the kind of lives that prove you belong to the Lord. Then you will want to please him in every way as you grow in producing every kind of good work by this knowledge about God. We ask him to strengthen you by his glorious might with all the power you need to patiently endure everything with joy. You will also thank the Father, who has made you able to share the light, which is what God’s people inherit.” – (Colossians 1:10-12 GW)

As a body, we’re stronger together, and we’re better together.

Ask yourself:

How can I strengthen the body of Christ today by creating or nurturing a relationship?

For reflection:

Father, I choose to stand with you today. I commit to doing what is right and what pleases you. Teach me to love mercy and show me how to live humbly with you. Amen.
