There is amazing strength in working together. Individuals may get credit for doing great things, but most major change comes from a group of people. In Judges 20:11 we can read that the Israelites joined together as one person to defeat the enemy.
I so wish I had an amazing story of a sports team I was on that joined together - like in the movies - Remember the Titans - Glory Road - Friday Night Lights - where the team joined together to overcome barriers and play as a team to win. Okay, in Friday Night Lights, they lost..... But all the teams I played on, through all the years I can remember, selfishness won over teamwork. But I think that is more the normal than we want to admit. And I believe it is too normal for the church. God's team that he has put together to transform the world. God's team that is praying and working towards God's will being done on earth as it is in heaven... is to often derailed because we cannot work together as a team.
How great is your desire to be a part of something significant in your life? How much to you want to leave a legacy of faith for your family, friends, and community? Enough to put aside your selfishness and put the team ahead of your own life?
Seek first the Kingdom of God!
