In the icy Antarctic tundra, emperor penguins huddle together to keep warm. This instinct of flocking together is wired into their DNA. I pondered this as I sat in the snowy Drakensberg mountains, feeling the bite of the frigid breeze. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20). Isn’t it amazing how much we can learn from nature? How many of the issues we face in our spiritual lives are answered by looking at our surroundings? How do we expect to remain with our hearts on fire for Christ if we are all alone in this cold, harsh world? Thankfully, we are born into God’s family, a community we can rely on to keep our fire going. Just like the penguins, we are called to come together in Christ. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another —and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25). So, let us learn from the penguins and not forget the importance of fellowship in our journey through life. Open Bible – http://bit.ly/rom1v20, http://bit.ly/heb10v24-25
