Shoulder to shoulder

Yesterday, was an adventure, One that turned out really good. ( Some advetures do not turn out so well) , A friend and I went to see extreme home makeover and we watch the house come down ( and met Ty ;o)
Last night when I thought of it all. ...It was cool to see the behind the scenes look at how it all works.
I was thinking about a lesson I had, on how the body of Christ are to work together , In Nehemiah 4, it talks about how they carried their materials in one hand and their weapons in the the other, and each builder wore their sword at his side as he worked. and in Zeph 3 9-17 they Serve him shoulder to shoulder!!!!
Watching those builders work yesterday, they did not have swords but they work side by side, helping each other.
I wonder how many times I have done my on thing and not work with those who God "Posted " by me. I was on my own!( not a good thing)
Don't ya think that they the people in neh.) had to help each other fight off the enemy????
Well, We the Body of Christ are not doing that!( I am guilty) we don't help each other fight off the enemy, Nor , do we help build the wall, We all have our own agenda and we let those who fall, fall where they may. As we look down on them from our ladder and say they should have, could have ,.....
If we do not want to find ourselves among the christian casualties, then we have to learn to fight FOR and NOT with each other.
Shoulder to shoulder my friends, til the end!!!!
