Grace for your spirit. May 17, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. 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. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

An old proverbs says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." In all of creation, the first time God said things were not good, was when He said it is not good for man to be alone. They say married men live longer than single ones, although many married men say it just seems longer. Our spiritual journey was never meant to be alone either. That why God gave us the church. The word church literally means assembly, or the gathering of those called out. Jesus doesn't want any of us to be the "lone ranger", but rather be together to help pick up and be picked up. Let's commit to the assembly and to the gathering of the called out. It's not just what we can get, but what we can give.
