READ

Ecclesiastes 4:9
9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.

Genesis 1:28
28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

REFLECT

God is the Creator and He reigns over all the earth.  God delegated some of His authority to humans.  He expects us to lovingly care for His creation.  God also knew that we would need help.  He makes it clear in His Word that two are better than one.  What a gracious and kind God we have!

APPLY

Q: Why are two people better than one?

Q: How do you help others succeed?  Are you taking care of God’s creation as you were designed to?

Q: Who do you know that helps others succeed?  Have you ever thanked them for their support?

SING

PRAY

"Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."

Heavenly Father - all my life You have been faithful!  Forgive me for my sins.  I want to help others succeed.  Bring people into my life that I can help build up.  I want to bring You honor and glory, God.  Show me how.
