ODB MESSAGE FOR TODAY
As I opened the bookshelf assembly instructions with piles of boards and tools strewn on the floor before me, I viewed a set of instructional diagrams of what to do and what not to do.
One diagram—with a large X on top—depicted a person staring at a pile of boards and tools with a bemused frown not unlike mine just a few minutes prior. On the right side was drawn the “correct” way to assemble. The only difference?
A second person was there. Both figures now had smiles on their faces as they worked together.
So I got my husband. “The instructions say I need your help,” I said, showing him the drawing. He laughed, and we assembled it together.
I could have stubbornly tried to find a way to put it together on my own. But the manual was right; the process wasn’t meant to be done alone.
In Romans 12, Paul urges new believers not to try to do life in Jesus alone. Instead of seeing themselves as self-sufficient and thinking of themselves “more highly than [they] ought” (v. 3), they needed to see themselves as part of an interdependent body, where every member needs each other’s help (vv. 4-8).
As Jesus helps us learn how to “be devoted to one another in love” (v. 10), we can experience life “in harmony” with each other, where one another’s needs, griefs, and joys (vv. 13, 15) are never carried alone.
Reflect & Pray
Why do you think we’re tempted to do life alone? What helps you rely on others?
Dear God, please help me to rely daily on Your Spirit to unite and guide me in how to share life with other believers.
