In Tandem With God

Greetings~

I love to ride the tandem bike with Jorge, and for several years we have regularly cruised around the beautiful boardwalks and beaches of Miami waving to tourists and thoroughly enjoying ourselves.  I honestly didn’t think it could get any better, and then we discovered an attachment for our bike that allows our baby, Hershey Pie, to join us on our outings. Hershey is so beyond-words adorable in his little carriage, and he gets a lot of attention.  People will point and wave, and I love it because I get to wave back.

But what I love most about the tandem is that when we ride, Jorge and I are close - we're a team. I can drink water without fear of falling, I can talk on the phone. I can hand him things from his knapsack and wipe the sweat off his brow. I can kidney punch him just for fun. It's great, and it's a true joint effort. We can go twice as fast and twice as far.

What happens when we team up with God? When we're tandem with Him?

Philippians 1:19 "For I know that as you pray for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ helps me, this will lead to my deliverance."

When we team up with God through prayer, deliverance happens.

Never ever underestimate the power of being in tandem with the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You have given us the awesome privilege of allowing us to make an impact on this planet by teaming up with You through prayer.  It is amazing to think that You hear us, care what we say, and most importantly, You answer us. Never let us waste this powerful opportunity and blessing. Too many people, starting with those in our own families, need Your help. Help us to become prayer warriors; help us to never give up! In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
