[S] Ecclesiastes 4:9,10,12 --
9 Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.10 For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. 12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
[O] This passage is the cornerstone principle for building up a community that thrives on not just one super-star but a fabric of individuals coming together to strengthen each other. Based on this our enemy tries its best to divide and conquer by creating islands of individuals.
[A] Teach my children about how important it is for them to stay connected just like the cord of three strands mentioned in v.12. They need to very soon realize that God brought them into this world for a purpose of displaying His glory and baseline for reaching that goal is to stay strong against all sorts of currents slowing them down or trying to break them apart.
[P] Dear Father, please continue to shower Your grace on my children so that they will be "tied" together to reach the purpose You have for them as a community. Please provide them the life partners who would share such vision and the extended family to be a strong spiritual fabric for Your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
