Two Are Better Than One

The concept of relationship has been brought to my attention and has been a focus of my studies time and time again. Nonetheless, I find myself returning to it yet again. And, finally, I think I am realizing why it is a topic that keeps surfacing. It is that important. God doesn't just keep laying things on our hearts that are unimportant, right? So, relationship is going to be another one of the things that I focus on this year. Relationship with my husband, my friends, my family, my coworkers...

In all aspects God tells us, “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.” Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NIV). Now, I would clarify that to mean two working together to further his kingdom and his will, but nevertheless, two that come together can get twice the work done in half the time! God has provided us with a variety of people in our lives to serve as vital resources to us and us to them. Bottom line, He is a relational god, and we are relational people (because He made us that way)! So, as we progress throughout this thing we call life, let's not go it alone. Call on God, call on people, and let others call on you.
