Two Are Better Than One

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

“Two are better than one.” As runners in a spiritual race, we need one another – perhaps even more so, for we are not racing in competition with each other but as members of the same team. There will be moments when we falter and need someone to pick us up; at other times, someone may need our encouragement through our prayers or presence.

The spiritual race is not to be run alone. Is God leading you to help someone in your own life? Respond to His prompting today, and finish the race.

We need each other to get where God wants us to go.
