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
I have been reminded lately of the strength of having someone else to
walk beside us and carry our burdens. Sometimes it's physical but most
times it's spiritual. I know my heart is uplifted when I share the
concerns that are weighing me down and have a friend come alongside me
to cover the issue in prayer.
What a joy to know that Christ
is always there and doing the same for us. He knows our struggles and
concerns before we even give voice to them. He is the key ingredient
that keeps the cord strong. What more could we want then to have the
assurance that He loves us and cares what we are going through.
How can I be praying for you today?

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ... a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7).
So true, Jodie! Lovely devotional.
