King Solomon said, “Two are better than one.” Together, they can complete more work, watch each other’s backs and keep each other warm. “For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.” (Ecclesiastes 4:10) Indeed, friends are a gift.

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you.

Philippians 1:3

Paul recognized that gift. In his letter to his Philippian friends, he thanks God every time he thinks of them. His memories make him joyful. Working together for the kingdom of God is rewarding and creates lasting bonds. There are Christians in every city of every state in America. While from many different denominations, together you share a common bond in Christ; yet so often believers argue over small stuff instead of praising God and thanking Him for fellow workers.

What if every Christian prayed today and thanked God for all of His followers? Lift one another up instead of tearing down. Pray that “he who began a good work in [each of] you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6) Ask God to help you band together and lift His name above all other names so that those in political office will bow down and worship Him.
