BETTER TOGETHER

  "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.  Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." 

Ecclesiastes 4:12 [New Living Translation]

BETTER TOGETHER.

Do you remember the soda (or pop, depending on where you are from) commercial that came out a few years ago during the SuperBowl that showed a variety of scenes of people stating, "I got it" only to find out that, in reality, it would have been better to have some help.

How many times do we take on this same attitude? 

How many times would it be better to have others be with us....help us....BETTER TOGETHER?

I have a Pastor friend who uses a banana bunch to illustrate this.  He would say, "Stay with your group, your company.  It's the one banana that gets separated from the bunch that gets peeled."

As the Bible verse above tells us, standing alone, we are set up for attack...for defeat, BUT if we are with others, we are strong and can get it done!

BETTER TOGETHER.

Here's the cool part:  It's even more BETTER to be TOGETHER with others that don't have the same gifting as you.  Who don't look like you.  Who have an upbringing different from you.  These traits go both ways.

When we join with....partner with....others that are different than you, you find that they have skills that you don't have.  So TOGETHER, you are COMPLETE.  Rocky Balboa said it this way to Adrian, "I have gaps.  You have gaps.  But TOGETHER, we have no gaps."

BETTER TOGETHER.

So, in your BEST YEAR YET journey, find OTHERS that you can hook up with and move yourself away from the "I got it" attitude to the BETTER TOGETHER way of life!
