Do you know, the flock of sheep is safer as a group then when one is astray? For the wolf is always in on the prowl, looking for one's that lost, to consume and ravage.
As I shared with the people of IMU yesterday about the post camp fire in their hearts, and how to continue to stay on fire. I told them, you have to come to church, you have to go for life group, but more importantly, it's the peers that help each other move along together.
It's the same basis as the verse below our 'ouch!' title.
In Philippians 2:1-4 (NLT) also talks about being united in Christ.
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose.
Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in other, too, and what they are doing.
Are we going about our own businesses? Or are we watching out for fellow sheep, helping them if they need help, walking with them if they are alone? Or are we too busy buffing ourselves up that we forget?
Let us then constantly remember each other in all we do, and encourage each other as much as we can.
