Ecclesiastes 4:9,12

Ecclesiastes 4:9,12

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor…. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9,12

We have all had to tackle difficult tasks by ourselves. In the middle of it all, you find yourself saying, “I wish someone was here to help me.” Certainly two can get more done in a shorter period of time. And it’s much easier to do difficult jobs together.

This is probably most true when it comes to marriage. I’ve noticed that when I’m in a weak moment, my wife is usually strong and clear-headed and when she’s hurting, the Lord has often enabled me to be the strong one. And when we are both weak, Jesus becomes that third cord that wraps around us and keeps us from falling apart. So stick together and keep Him in the center.

Looking to that third strand,
