BE OF ONE MIND!
Philippians 2:2 – Devotional
Philippians 2:2
“Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.“
Years ago I was assigned the task of locating the site for a men’s retreat. The location was the beautiful mountains of Idaho, some 100 miles north of Boise. It was a terrible assignment, but someone had to do it! Cough! Cough! I cannot even make a joke about it since it was such a beautiful location and experience.
I heard of a Christian retreat center near Cascade, Idaho, and made a trip to check it out. The husband and his wife Doris greeted me warmly and soon we had become close friends. In those early moments of being shown the facility, I noticed that Doris did all of the talking. We chose that site for our retreat!
When the day of the retreat came, our men gathered and Doris welcomed the group as warmly as she had when I had visited earlier. This time I sat at the back of the room and noticed the eye contact between husband and wife. From time to time Don would slightly nod or shake his head.
As our men left the room I commented to Don and Doris how beautiful it was as each served their roll. Immediately Doris had tears in her eyes and she shared how certain people had accused her of being too bold and not letting Don do the speaking. Don shared how he could never speak in front of a group, regardless of size. He let Doris do the speaking and they were both of one mind!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
