Philippians 1:27-30
Geese do not have strong wings like seagulls. They look like dull, ordinary birds, and only attract attention when migrating twice a year. Geese fly with their wingtips against each other like angels in the sky... We can hear them flapping their wings in unison in the air. That's the secret of their strength... By flying together in a flock, the geese can fly 71 percent more of their solo flight distance... When the leading geese soars through the air, the buoyancy of the two follow. power over the geese of And the flapping of their wings also gives strength to the geese that follow. It is very similar to the principle that when the car in front rushes in a car race, the rear car gets traction... The geese take turns taking the lead. Then, when you get tired, you droop down to the end of the V-shape and breathe. Then the rest of the geese come to the front of the ranks and keep them in the ranks... If one geese becomes tired or sick, it is removed from the flock, but is never abandoned. One of the geese in the flock is weak and follows the geese that fall off, guides them to a resting place, and waits until the geese can fly again.

The plan was laid out by Nehemiah, but all the people worked together to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. Each of them made history by building their own part, namely, the wall in front of their house. The work was done with the participation of people of various professions, such as priests, civil servants, goldsmiths, and perfumers, and people from different places of origin, such as Jericho, Gibeonite, and Tekoa.
