Unity And Teamwork

by Hazel Straub

In the Far North, where I live, the geese have migrated from their northern breeding grounds, flying thousands of miles south, for the winter. They fly, in a V-shaped formation and honk to communicate. Geese take turns leading, in the front, while the others fly slightly higher than the one in front of them. This makes for less wind resistance and a better lift, with less effort. The geese not leading, spend less energy, so they rotate the lead place. Also this formation, helps them keep track of all the birds in the flock, and helps communication. Flying together allows them, to fly long distances, with little effort. If a goose falls out of formation due to illness, injury or tiredness, two geese will go with the goose, until it recovers or dies.

Geese flying in formation are a great example of teamwork and unity. They travel thousands of miles because they work together. God calls Christians to dwell in unity and to work together. When we work, as a team together, no one gets exhausted. Difficult tasks become easy, when everyone helps the others, nothing is impossible and it brings blessings!

How good and pleasant it is
    when brothers and sisters live together in peace!
It is like the finest oils poured on the head,
    sweet-smelling oils flowing down to cover the beard,
Flowing down the beard of Aaron,
    flowing down the collar of his robe.
It is like the gentle rain of Mount Hermon
    that falls on the hills of Zion.
Yes, from this place, the Eternal spoke the command,
    from there He gave His blessing—life forever. (Psalm 133 VOICE)

    I enjoyed your analogy of geese that tend to a goose that falls off formation to Christians who should be unified in their work for efficiency and to please the Lord ! :).

      Thank you, Nancy. Geese fly thousands and accomplish much together. Believers in Jesus can do the same when they work together. Blessings!

    I frequently observe geese around where I live. Their testament of unity and teamwork serves as a blessed example for mankind to witness and apply.
