We were not made to walk alone

 

Our Christian walk is not one we are supposed to make alone. Even Paul realized that he needed the mutual encouragement of other believers.  In Romans 1:11 he says that he wants to see the believers in Rome so that he can impart to them a spiritual gift to make them strong. Then, as though thinking as he is writing, he clarifies that he wishes that giving to go both ways--from himself to the Romans and from the Romans back to him.

God did not design us to serve Him in isolation. His design, mentioned over and over in Scripture, is for us to be a family, unified parts of one functioning body.  We are together greater than the sum of our parts.

And that is my thought for the day!
