Scripture tells us in Isaiah 41:10- Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. In those most difficult times, we must remember we are not alone, because God is with us. But it does not stop there; God works through each of us to ensure that we come together as a team to support and lift each other up.
God teaches success is achieved when we come together as one body as one team committed to achieving the purpose for which we have been called. The "we" will always outperform the "me". Scripture reiterates this message as follows:
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor-Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
As iron sharpens Iron, one person sharpens another-Proverbs 27:17
…that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions amongst you 1 Corinthians 1:10
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity-Psalms 133:1
…let us consider how we may spur one another towards love and good deeds-Hebrews 10:24
From him, the whole body joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work-Ephesians 4:16
There are many other scriptures I can cite, but in the end, the message is the same, working in a silo will never lead to the success that can be achieved if we work together as a team. Teamwork is not an easy concept as it requires the ability to come together despite our differences, to understand the value each team member possesses, and to find a way to focus on the strengths while mitigating the challenges. That is how we make the impossible, possible!
