Hanging Together

Lately it seems that I'm surrounded by all these fragile situations. All around me are these crumbling foundations. Both close to home, and in the world at large, there seems to be an epidemic of weakness, sickness and failure.

Why do some relationships, friendships and marriages last? Why do some teams, bands and partnerships last? Why do some bonds, agreements and promises last?

Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor... Proverbs 20:3a [NLT]


My guess is that my relationships, my partnerships, and my promises that continue to exist do so because of my faith. My strength when threatened, my patience when tried, and my wisdom when questioned all come from a source much greater then me. Surely, on my own I would fail.

Loyalty makes a person attractive... Proverbs 19:22a [NLT]


Hanging together for me is part of my faith journey. Hanging together is not a choice, but a church. It's those who fill the roster of my accountability team. It's my Teacher, Coach and Best Friend who meets with me every morning for a walk.

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.   Colossians 4:6 [NIV]

My prayer is that we find a way to hang together [to love] not as a race, not as a city, not as a country, but as a world, as a people of God.

Pray on,
Eddy
