Amos 3:3
“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?”
My cousin
Billy use to grab me by the arm and take me for a “walk”. This would be the
time when we would catch up on casual conversations and occasionally we might
even stumble into in important talk about life decisions or something of that
nature. This simple habit helped build a very special relationship, and I am
forever grateful for it. but there came a day when me and Billy began to see
things differently and our unity was lost. We literally could not walk together
because we no longer agreed. This isn’t he only time this has happened to me
either. I have multiple friends that I have lost due to the fact that we don’t
agree. Friends who think that their Christian freedoms give them a hall pass,
or people, who plan their ways, have all slowly disappeared from my side.
But God has
given me the gift of friends who agree and through Christ we have unity. The
agreement required for a good friendship is the agreement of surrender to God.
When we find fellow bondservants to walk with, we become bound to them as well
as our master. Austin talks often of the companion who is a sail verses the
companion who is an anchor. And how we want to add to our ship a sail rather
than add a weight that will hold us back. Because if I agree with you on the
direction were going its because our destination is God.
