1 Chronicles 12:40 For there was rejoicing in Israel.
The soldiers came to Hebron to make it known that David was their rightful king, and the people of Israel agreed. All their neighbors came bringing food and provisions, and they ate and drank and celebrated David being their king. The people came together to serve God and it brought them joy.
Together. It’s like the age old theme of “there is no I in team.” Yes we can serve God individually, but it doesn’t get our church far. If we are all acting for ourselves, we are not unifying ourselves to God’s plan. We can’t allow things of this world allow us to get distracted from unity. We must stick together as a people of God. Just like the soldiers couldn’t allow anything to distract them of pull them from being in the unified army, we cannot allow anything to pull us from God’s army.
I must remember that together with my church, we are called to serve the Lord. If one in our church is struggling, we are all weak. This person needs to be brought back up by the love of Christ’s people. Us. You and me. We need to open our eyes and see those around us who are struggling and help them find their way; help them see how God is the true fulfillment. God wants us all to rejoice together.
