two better than one

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. Ecclesiastes 4:8-12

We can understand the concept of two, back to back defending each other, however the finish can be a puzzle, except a Christian will recognise the third man in the middle is Jesus. God in Jesus, is the glue that holds all things together.

For me, who God told to stay alone for as long as He determined, this has been hard. I have had to rely on Jesus to be my second and the Holy Spirit my third. It has worked but I have had to stay close and also rely heavily on fellowship in the body of Christ. My greatest concern has been deception that grows in isolation. By being accountable I have avoided self righteous isolation. Praise God!

Fellowship is so important. Amen!
