Working

God create us to be in community with Him and others (read the first part of Genesis). In our journey to good health and restoration we all need to work with others. “God made us to do good works, which He planned in advance for us to live our lives doing.” Ephesians 2:10 (NCV) It is comforting to know that we don’t need to plan God’s work for Him – it’s already done. We just need to be obedient. We must be good listeners and apply His Word to our lives.

We are taught to be self sufficient and “to stand on our own two feet”, but God’s Word says, “Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together.” Ecclesiastes. 4:9 (NCV) There is safety, production, encouragement, and accountability when working with someone else.   

Living in a Godly community of believers is God’s answer for our need for healthy relationships.“Every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” Gal. 6:10 (MSG) Ask yourself today, What areas of my life could benefit by having someone else involved? Seek to find God’s choice for your co-workers, friends, and all relationships. His plan is always the best.

Follow God's Word on how He desires us to be connected in community. It is part of His plan for your mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Jesus promises, I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord. - Jeremiah 30:17 Change your life today. Strive for the relationships God desires for you to have.
