Let's do "The Flying V" formation........




Good morning friends! Well, the epidural went good yesterday. Was hurting real bad afterwards but, the doctor said I should see some relief in 2-3 days. I am totally excited about that. Today's topic is something I have been dealing with for some time. Why is it that most of us feel we have to do everything on our own? Probably because that's what the world tells us is a strong person. Like we are Jason Bourne or Rambo. Wait maybe even James Bond for the one's that think they are a little more distinguished. Why do we try to do everything on our own. Here is the thing. This is not the way God has planned it for us. This is not what He wants us to do. Let's dig into the good stuff and see what God can show us.........

Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 3:9 "For we are laborers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building."

If we are doing good when we are working by ourselves. How powerful it is when we work together in unity! Here is something for you to put in your pipe and smoke. Did you know that Canadian geese always fly in a "V" formation. Have you seen this? Have you ever wondered why? Because the lead goose is moving the wind resistance for the rest of them. So while he is flapping real hard, the rest of them are cruising. After a while, the lead goose gets wore out and he falls back and the next goose moves up. I remember when I was younger, I thought that was the boss goose. Geese are not the only migrating birds that do this. Wait did you ever see the movie “The Mighty Ducks”? Their “Flying V” formation was unstoppable.  

Do you know what scientists have discovered in the wind tunnel experiments? That geese flying in a "V" formation can fly 72% farther than one goose could fly by himself. Is that not crazy? I wonder how they figured that out? I wonder who taught them to do that? Here's your sign for some that want to say they just figured it out on their own. God did!

What are we trying to do by ourselves that could be more efficiently accomplished when the task is shared? It is time that we have unity and not just talk about having unity. Imagine if all the Christians at your workplace would bind up together and work on one accord. Be a pretty powerful group, wouldn't it? Let's meditate on this today. I pray you have a great and blessed day!
