Today’s Travels

. . . by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose . . . (Philippians 2:2b, AMP)

Good Morning!

Tim’s baseball team mates are unique. They have different personalities, abilities, and gifts; however, they have learned how to play the game with a united effort. The process of unity is accomplished through listening and obeying what the coach says to do. Each player chooses to be united, working as a team, through the direction of their shared coach.

The Apostle Paul wrote about living in unity through the same Spirit:

. . . By living in harmony and being of the same mind: The Apostle Paul supported a lifestyle of unity in diversity. True unity is produced through listening and obeying the Spirit of God. Our thoughts converge through the work of the Spirit as we seek the Word of God. The same mind is formed through surrendering to the Spirit of God.

One in purpose: The word, “one,” denotes a coming together or a union. Sharing the purpose of God produces anticipation for great and mighty activity. Individuals, who seek the purpose of God, unify their thoughts, words, and actions through the Spirit's presence and power.

Coming together through the presence and power of the Spirit does not reduce our uniqueness but increases the power of our efforts.

Life is an incredible journey when you travel with others
in harmony,
being of the same mind
and one in purpose.

Enjoy today’s travels!

Learning with you to enjoy today's travels with others,
