The Journey

The Journey

1 Corinthians 3:6-9

Scripture for August 22



Teamwork is important but sometimes we may not want to be part of a team. Can’t we just go it alone? You know, sometimes it’s a lot of work to be part of a team, especially if the team doesn’t always agree on what needs to be done. Yet in reality, being a part of the team keeps us from thinking we can do it alone. It’s not good for us to think “I can do it without anyone’s help.” Why? Because we begin to think we don’t need anyone else and we become inwardly focused. We’re certain we don’t need anyone, we can do whatever needs to be done without anyone else or anyone’s interference. Somehow we begin to think we are the center of universe and we don’t need God either. So as you read Sunday’s Scripture, perhaps you can think about what it means to you to be part of God’s team and how that really does make all the difference in the world.



Yes, God, I do think I can do it alone sometimes. But help me to see that we really are in this together and that’s just the way You want it. Amen.
