Safety in the flock

Spring migrations of snow geese create white outs as they rise in the Gulf of Mexico when attacked by birds of prey. And amidst the mass of whirling wings, scientists report that families stick close together.

So the Body of Christ rises together as one, uniting against attack, while maintaining the families into which the Lord has placed each member.  Safety is found in the unity of the flock.

"Who are my mother and my brothers and sisters?" Jesus asked His followers when his mother, Mary, and his brothers came, making a demand that He had answered long ago.  At 13, the age Jewish boys become a man, Jesus had challenged his parents' demand on His time, saying He had to be found doing His Father's work.

So too, if we are born again by the Spirit of God, we must be about "Our Father's Business".

If are we led by the Spirit of God, we SHALL be about our Father's Business.

We shall be praying to seek His will for us, and then doing it!

We shall be in the spiritual family of God, uniting in prayer, crying out to the Lord for His kingdom to Come in the nations of the world, and in the nation in which He chose for us to be born.  We shall cry out for our flock, and for our family.  We shall rise to Him as one, whiting out  the darkness that surrounds us, finding safety from birds of prey in our unity.
