HCCF Chaplains Chat #01

How would you describe the sense of team unity experienced by your team? What are the benefits that accompany a team with great unity versus a team that is full of strife, contention and selfish attitudes?

Today’s scripture describes such unity in Psalm 133:1. There we read, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity” Seems simple, huh? The psalmist says that unity produces an atmosphere that is good and pleasant. It’s simple to describe, but harder to produce.

Team unity is good, leading to the best possible performance from everyone related to the team. Unity brings out the best in each player, coach, trainer, admin, etc….

Team unity is pleasant, smoothing out every potential conflict and contention. Every team is made up of vastly different people. It’s supposed to be that way. Team unity allows you to maintain a focus on your common goals, aspirations and values. That makes the playing together pleasant.

In this year’s competition, let great team unity produce an atmosphere of goodness and pleasance. Strive together to see each teammate compete to his or her highest capacity. Keep your focus on unifying words and actions that make the whole process pleasant for everyone concerned.

Compete in a unified way and you will be unstoppable.

God Bless
