Ecclesiastes 4

"Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 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.
11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken." vv.9-12

Companionship.  It's a wonderful thing in so many ways despite how hard it may be at times. Just before these verses nine through twelve we read of the lonely man with no end to his toil and miserable business.  Then we see the comparison of two better than one because they have good return for their work.  It's like the two have each others backs when something goes wrong, or two people working at the same thing gives help in decision making and accountability.  Solomon goes on to compare also of two keeping warm because they can feed of each others body heat, but you can't do this without another warmblooded being.  Then he says another instance: if one's in a bad situation its a lot easier to be protected if someone is with you and will fight for you, a single person is a much easier target.  Then Solomon brings in the number three.  Three strands aren't quickly broken.  Have you ever tried to break a chain of three strands of whatever material?  It's a lot harder even if it's only floss because they're so woven together.  I like to think this third strand is the Lord Jesus in the midst of our relationships whether with a spouse, best friend, neighbor, sibling, etc.  Even when turmoil comes if the Lord is so woven into those relationships, they will stand.  What relationship is true to this verse in your life?  Which of your relationships need Christ woven in?
