Lyndon B. Johnson said, "There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few we can solve by ourselves."
We see this in Nehemiah, each person doing his or her part to build the wall around the city of Jerusalem. "From that day on, half of my men did the work, while the other half were equipped with spears, shields, bows and armor. The officers posted themselves behind all the people of Judah who were building the wall." (Nehemiah 4:16-17)
Our tendency is to tackle our problems on our own, but this is the least effective strategy. We need to make a habit of enlisting others to help us face our challenges. Nehemiah made sure that his workers had someone watching their backs; we need the same.
Working with you,
Phil
