"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for
their labor;
for
if they fall the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him
that is alone when he fallth for he has not another to help
him up. Again; if two lie down they have heat, but how can
one be warm alone. and if one prevail against him two shall
withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4: 9-12
I’m one of about 1200 employees who work for the Defense
Commissary Agency at the headquarters at Fort Lee. In the
office where I work there are only three of us. The work is
not hard, but what makes it so difficult is we just can’t
seem to work together as a team. When people work together
as a team sharing their talents, resources and ideas, they
can accomplish more than the same number of people working
individually.
All throughout the Bible we can read how much people
accomplished when they came together as a team. During the
Civil Rights Movement people of color came together as a
team and accomplished much. During the Super Bowl the New
York Giant’s football team came together as a team and
accomplished much. During Operation Snack Reach our church
came together as a team and much was accomplished. Barack
Obama’s Campaign came together as a team and history was
made. During Operation Transformation if everyone would come
together and work as a team, much can and much will be
accomplished.
Prayer Focus: Father, I pray that we come together as a team
and accomplish your will here on earth. Help us to be like
the Jews as they were rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem;
where as some worked, some watched, and some prayed. Give us
the spirit of unity so that we can come together as a team
and accomplish the work that you have set before us. Even
as we team up for Operation Transformation, help us all to
be on one accord for we all have an important role to play
on your team. Amen.
