Romans 1: 12
That you and I may be mutually encouraged by each others faith.
...- = "V" = VICTORY
Geese fly in a "V" formation. As the heading shows, "V" stands for Victory even in Morse code (...-). What is so "victorious" about the "V" formation? What can we learn from this form of flight?
The "V" causes the air currents to lift each member of the "V". The leader, pierces the air and causes it to flow under the arms of the "V". It is a fact that the geese can fly 70% farther in the "V" then alone. The Air Force uses the "V" formation to increase travel range, it conserves fuel.
These facts about the "V" formation give us deep insight into the verse from Romans. We are to be in fellowship, so that we are "encouraged by each others faith". The Scripture often calls us to build one another up in the most Holy faith, so that no one will fall away. Fellowship in the LORD, strengthens and gives the necessary "up lift" so that no member becomes weary and falls.
There is another fact about Geese, they "honk". Their sound is continuous as they fly. This sound encourages the leaders to press on; to keep flying. The lead Goose has to buck the head winds and this can be exhausting. The honk of the flock is encouragement. All Spiritual Leaders need the flock to encourage them. They are on the front lines, piercing the "head winds" which lifts the flock in flight. Daily prayer for the Spiritual leaders is like the continuous honking of the wild Geese, it lifts them up on the wings of the Holy Spirit.
Victory in JESUS has everything to do with the focus of the flight of the flock on JESUS and His way. We will pierce the darkness and be lifted high above the currents of this negative world. Together, we can encourage one another to rise one the wings of the wind and be able to fly free in the Holy Spirit.
