Support System

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10;12b
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. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

Having good friends and family help in times of trouble can be very reassuring. To know that you have the support you need, is very comforting. A few days ago I was faced with a car that had broken down on my way home. My parents drove five hours out to pay for a hotel, pay for dinner, and give me a car to drive back home. I'm very thankful to have godly parents in my life that will help me no matter what. 

So what are you thankful for today? I'm sure by now you have had the opportunity to spend time with family and eat together. Those are moments that mean a lot to people. If you live far away from family, the times you have together are priceless. 

This scripture is saying we should learn to appreciate and rely on the support we have. When we work together and not apart, we have a strong defense against anything that comes our way. Make sure you have two or three people in your life that you can trust and be able to share your struggles and triumphs with today. The second we become isolated is when we can be the most distracted. Learn to rely on God and others to help you get through the day.
