Hi Brian! The word for this week is "yokefellow". It's found only once in the New Testament. Philippians 4:1-3: 1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life. KJV
This is the Greek word "suzugos". Strong's Concordance says: co-yoked, a colleague. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: yoked together. Vine's Expository Dictionary says: fellow laborer. The Theological Dictionary adds: spanned together in a common yoke. It comes into use for the "companion" or "partner", especially where there is a pair or couple, as in marriage. This word really stood out to me this week with Kristine's continued success in her new business! I know that you two met while working at Target, and that this is a huge change for you from traveling together most mornings. As true "yokefellows" though, you continue to desire what is best for each other, and for your family! I really sense that this new venture is going to actually lead to much more time together than you ever had before. That may not seem so in the beginning, but as God continues to bless what both of your are laying your hands to, some supernatural things are in the works that will make what may seem impossible into a reality! I can't wait to see and hear all that HE has planned for you both and your beautiful girls! Here is Hillsong with "In God We Trust":
