The Importance of Teamwork
by Dr. Paul Chappell
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Philippians 2:19-23
The first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, did not talk about that experience very much. He explained that as a pilot, he perferred talking about flying to talking about landing. But at an event celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the moon landing, Armstrong said, “I was aware that this was a culmination of the work of 300,000 or 400,000 people over a decade.” When Neil Armstrong died, his fellow astronaut Jim Lovell said, “His favorite part was being part of a team.”
Though each of us must do our part in the work of the Lord, it is not an individual project, but rather a team effort. And each member of the team must do his or her part. Imagine what would have happened to Armstrong and his fellow astronauts if people in engineering, construction, or flight planning had decided that because their faces would not be on television, their jobs were unimportant and they did not need to do them diligently and well. Disaster would have surely followed.
The Lord's work deserves the very best we can give it. Whether anyone knows who we are does not matter. There are no crowns for fame, but rather for faithfulness. Every task God places before us matters. As the saying goes, “Even if the task is not worthy of you, diligence is.” Rather than seeking glory and self-promotion, we should rejoice to be part of the team God has called to do His work.
Today's Growth Principle:
There are no little jobs in God's work, and everything we do for Him deserves our very best.
