"Two are better than one" Eccl.4:9
Old king Solomon carried a heavy load. All of the wisdom that the Lord had given him was almost more than he could bear. He understood life in ways that we marvel at. His wisdom makes up part of the Biblical cannon. But it all seems pointless and empty to him.
In Ecclesiastes chapter four he writes about an area that hits home to me. The benefit of not being alone when calamity strikes. The multiplying effect of joint effort. I have used these words to highlight the unusual benefit of being married. The marriage union multiplies reward, supports the fallen, keeps you warm, and strengthens your defenses. Make it a Christian marriage and you have a threefold cord that is not quickly broken. This could apply to church, or to business, or to any enterprise that people work at. Two are better than one.
One is good, but two are better. One is better than none, but two are better.
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." Heb.13:5
Our church provides that union and that multiplying effect as we gather together and work together.
