Living in Harmony


Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement allow you to live in harmony with one another, according to the command of Christ Jesus, so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with a united mind and voice.
Romans 15:5‭-‬6 HCSB

We have more opportunity to live in harmony when we have grace to one another. If I am annoyed by you then I will not be praying for God's best for you. The enemy wants to fill our minds with pictures about the failures of others, causing us to withdraw from each other and not have fellowship with one another. When the images come, take this as an opportunity to pray for that person Satan is trying to divide you from.

When we stay in fellowship we can work together to glorify God through our attitudes and actions filled with grace. Amen!
Remember an enemy seeks to divide and conquer. If he can divide us, He will isolate us and imprison us.

Make an effort to love. Choose what to think. When bad images and bad feelings come, pray God's blessing. In the first part of the chapter Paul says:

Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves. Each one of us must please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
Romans 15:1‭-‬2‭
