Teamwork

Life is all about teamwork. Our jobs, families, activities, school, church, just to name a few. Think about it, we are meant to do life together. Trying to do life alone has never been God’s plan for us. Our lives wouldn’t be able to function properly without teamwork. We literally have to rely and depend on others to get things done.
God created us to work together in teams.
Marriage is a team effort. It takes commitment on the part of both partners to make it work. When you decide to get married, you decide to form a partnership (team), to grow and learn together.
Building a family is teamwork. Each family member has a specific role designed by God to help the family function properly.
We all have jobs that require teamwork. For instance, I have worked in the retail industry for most of my life. A retail business has many departments. Each department depends on the other to help keep the store running efficiently. When something goes down or becomes dysfunctional, it can cause real chaos. Solving problems requires teams coming together to find a solution. As a team, we help each other and we figure out the best solution together.
Our churches rely on teamwork. It takes commitment to keep our churches running smoothly. Most people don’t think about what goes on behind the scenes. It ultimately comes together because of many people working with each other to accomplish the goal of serving one another and the body of the church successfully. God created us for fellowship. Fellowship and growing together is impossible without teamwork.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NASB
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe is the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
Proverbs 27:17 NASB
Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
1 Corinthians 3:9 NASB
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Have a blessed day!!!
