Today's Scripture
Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 NIV
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
What you'll learn:
Some burdens grow heavier because a man has quietly decided he should carry them alone. Ecclesiastes looks straight at that lonely instinct and names the gift we often resist: another person close enough to share the work and steady us when we lose our footing. The Teacher is not promising an easy life or sentimental friendship. He is showing how God’s ordinary provision often arrives through faithful companionship. A trusted brother cannot remove every hardship, but he can help you face the truth, recover from a fall, and keep walking when isolation would leave you exposed.
