Greater Than

We is greater than me!

We are taught to seek companionship, not isolation throughout scripture. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NLT says “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

This is just one example of how cooperation has its advantages. Here’s another example seen in history time and time again. The phalanx formation was a close-rank, dense grouping of warriors armed with long spears and interlocking shields. It was a very effective formation used by armies for thousands of years. They can protect an asset located within, and they can defend themselves by the close-rank to many attacks.

Let’s work together. We were not created to be isolated and we are not here to serve just ourselves. We are to serve others and to serve God. So, if someone is hurting, being taken down by health issues or despair, we as Christians can close rank, be protective, erect a defense! We are all part of the body of Christ. We each have our own special work! 

Remember, Paul instructs us and the Galatians “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2



"His faithful love endures forever."



Until next time...
