God Makes Our Lives Easier

Matthew 18:19 "When two of you get together on anything..."

A couple of days ago I was on the phone with a buddy, and in the middle of our conversation we realized that God makes our lives easier; He sets us up to succeed.  For example: Those verses we looked at all last week, what if God would have said, “When 15 or more of you get together on anything, I’ll go into action…”  Can you imagine? 

I’m not saying that it’s impossible to get a group consensus, but it can be a challenge.   Even for something totally unimportant, like the World Cup Soccer frenzy in Brazil, we were at friendly odds as a family.  I don’t think there was ever a 100% consensus during the one-month tournament.  Everyone had a different favorite team, a personal favorite player, and a million reasons why their guys should win.  At one point Jorge managed to get me on his side by showing me something nice a player did for a kid in need, and that was all the convincing I needed to cheer for him from that point on.  But no matter how I hemmed and hawed, I could not get certain stubborn fans on my side. 

Thank God that in His economy, however, all it takes is one single solitary lone kindred spirit who connects with you in your time of need and because both of you pray, God shows up.

Let us never underestimate the power of praying together; some of us may be missing out on some good things because we isolate ourselves. 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that there is power in group prayer.  Sometimes it is necessary to approach You with a buddy by our side, and an added dimension of joy, faith, hope, support, and love that blesses our life takes place because of it.  We love you! AMEN~
