Today's Verse: 1 Corinthians 3:9
"For we are fellow workmen --joint promoters, laborers together-- with and for God..." --AMP[3]
Today's Message
Every newly-born baby is totally dependent on her/his parents (or an adult) to live. If there is not a caring person to provide food, shelter, and an environmentally-safe space to live in, any child would easily die. Once this child reaches a certain age and maturity, s/he is now able to live on her/his own, and that primary care is no longer needed. Here is when independence takes place.
Even though independence is an important stage of human life, interdependence is truly the ultimate goal of human existence. We were not designed to live solitary, isolated lives. That is why we have families, marry and/or develop strong long-lasting relationships --to be able to live in unity with others. For we definitely need each other in this world.
God's Kingdom also operates under this principle of interdependence. Not only do we need God's love, grace, and power every single moment of our existence, but God also needs us for His eternal plan to take place. God has a special mission since the foundation of this world, and He needs our talents, skills, and commitment to reach others in desperate need of His love. God needs human creativity and strength to reach out and make an impact on this earth. And He has chosen you and me to become a significant part of His Kingdom for this very purpose.
I invite you to commit your focus and daily attention on developing interdependence with God. As we seek God's will in prayer and His Word, God will definitely show us the path we should walk and the place we need to be.
