Two are better than one

June 1, 2011 by memullin

In Ecclesiastes Chapter 4:9-12, Solomon wrote:  “Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.  For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.  Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?  Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Breaking it down, two are better for:

  • Labor – Two produce more and can accomplish more
  • When accident occurs – Assistance available
  • For comfort – Two are warmer than one alone
  • For defense – Two are better able to withstand an enemy
God knows our frame, that we do better when we are not alone.
