Christian Devotional – December 4, 2012

VERSE:
Acts 18:3–and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working for by trade they were tent-makers.

TRUTH:
Even Paul, who often is portrayed as the great loner for God, was not really that alone. He found others who believed the same and, in this case, even held the same profession to spend time with. Do we seek out other believers to share our life with?Are we trying to go alone? Paul recognized the importance of sharing together and doing life together as we work to impact the world for Him.

RESPONSE:
Father, I can get caught up in going alone through things, yet You have provided others around me to share with and work together with. Forgive me for my pride and teach me how to live and work the Christian life together with others.
