Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.
Ecclesiastes 4:9
Question
Who is one person God is calling you to partner with, support, or invite into your journey today?
Context
Ecclesiastes is Solomon’s reflective look at life “under the sun” apart from God’s eternal perspective. In chapter 4, he observes the emptiness of isolation and the value of companionship. He notes that oppression, loneliness, and the pursuit of success without relationship lead to weariness. In contrast, partnership, community, and shared labor bring strength, protection, and blessing.
Application
Life was never meant to be lived alone. God wired us for relationships, first with Him, then with others. Solomon reminds us that two working together accomplish more than one striving alone. We are stronger when someone can lift us when we fall, pray for us when we’re weak, and celebrate with us when God blesses us. Community multiplies strength, joy, and perseverance. Whether in marriage, ministry, friendship, or family, God places people around us as divine helpers to encourage and sharpen us.
Ask God to show you the people He has placed in your life to walk with you in this season. Be intentional about building those relationships by making the call, sending the message, asking for prayer, or offering help. Don’t try to carry everything alone; allow someone to lift one side of the weight.
Truth For The Day
God multiplies what we do when we don’t walk alone.
Pray
Lord, thank You for the gift of relationships. Help me to recognize the people You have placed in my life to walk with me, strengthen me, and encourage me. Give me the humility to seek help when I need it and the compassion to offer support when others are weak. In Jesus’ name, amen.
