We read in Nehemiah 4:6, 17 and 6:3 about how much these men accomplished by working in unity together. God wants us to appreciate one another and value the gifts and talents in each other. Where dissension and arguing is, not much can be accomplished.
We are not to let offence and bitterness rule our lives. When we read in Genesis 32:24 about Jacob and Esau we learn that when Jacob had rid himself of all anger toward his brother, then peace and unity came about between them.
In Luke 5:17-28 we read about a sick man's friends that helped him receive healing from Jesus. Without their help this man may not have been healed.
We are to help the lonely and discouraged. Judges 7:16-22 tells us that Gideon had 300 men working with him and they defeated the enemy. When we pray together in unity for our families they can come to know Christ and walk in victory.
Joshua 6:5, 16 Joshua marched around the city of Jericho with others 7 times and the walls came down. Walls that divide people can be broken down as we pray in faith and unity together.
Today let us purpose in our hearts to work together in unity for this is pleasing to the Lord.
