Can Two Walk Together

Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3

One of the greatest challenges in life is walking in agreement with others. Relationships are formed for various reasons but without consistent agreement, they will eventually dissolve. In marriage, husband and wife must find that place of walking together. When the two begin to walk in separate directions, major problems erupt that threaten the core of their foundation. If the two do not get back on the same path, the harder it will be to work things out together. Unfortunately for many marriages, separate paths lead to one result: divorce. Business partnerships, teammates, and friendships are all under the same principles, to walk and work
together. The Bible is filled with two’s, or pairs, some good, some not so good. But the Lord used them all for His purposes. The enemy seeks to keep these pairs of relationships from growing and remaining strong and consistent. This enemy’s main objective is to create division and dissension between people, especially in the church. Basically anything that can bring disharmony (such as pride, jealousy and covetousness) is used on us. Forces of evil come against any relationship seeking to serve the Lord. Why? Because where people stand together for the Lord, there is life-changing power that can reach far beyond our imaginations and expectations. The power of prayer alone can move mountains. When God’s people pray, look out…things change, especially when we agree together in prayer. Do you have a friend that you pray with regularly? Are you in a relationship that seeks to serve the Lord? Is your marriage a union that honors God? If you desire godly relationships, then pray that you can walk together in agreement. Be aware of all the tactics that will be used against your relationships in hopes of destroying their usefulness to serve the Lord. Though at times it is challenging to walk in agreement, when submitted to the Lord’s authority, the challenges become opportunities to see the Lord work through them. God put us here together on this earth and He has a plan for every union He brings together. Seek His plans today in your marriages, friendships and any other relationships you walk together in.
