IBS Romans 15: 5-6

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

These first four months of field time have been incredible. But as our time draws closer, I’m seeing how myself and my team can improve, finish the race strong. One thing that has been hard for me is truly being one unit, of being open with my brothers and encouraging them when moved too. But the Lord has granted me and moved me to make more opportunities like that, of late nights, fellowshipping and praying in the lord. And even though it’s been great there always still more. When we get out of sync you can tell, when one part is off it’s easy to follow in that way. But it’s encouraged when I read this verse, as some of us are tired, the God of endurance is there for us. He encourages and strengthens us. He brings us closer, through thick and thin, to finish our race strong. When we allow ourselves to be in the center of His will is when we glorify Him as one. My prayer is that for those who may feel distant, that the Lord shows them that this relay race isn’t over, and everyone needs to be in it to win it. And that we aren’t just a team, but a family brought together by the lord.
