Reflection: Blessing Six – Colleagues
In the last Chapter of Romans, Paul lists around 34 men and women who he acknowledges in a whole range of ways. It is a remarkable list. Included are Priscilla and Aquilla. They are honoured as fellow workers with Paul who played a critical role in the work of the gospel in reaching the Gentiles.
In our lives, God blesses us with fellow workers and colleagues (in either a paid or volunteer setting). Together, we are able to serve and lead in just about any sphere of activity you can think of. It’s true to say that good teamwork is critical to great things happening. This happens best when people are willing to play their part and partner with others. Along the way, strong bonds of affection are formed.
Today, thank God for your colleagues and pray for them. You may even want to thank them personally!
Prayer: Lord God, we thank you that you enlist us as your fellow workers in your world. We especially thank you for our colleagues and fellow workers. Thank you for the work that we share in together and for the way we each can play our part. Bless our colleagues and help us to be a blessing to them. Amen.
