HELP

Main Scripture:  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. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Eccl 4:9-12

A story is told of a man who was drowning and instead of crying out for help so the persons on beach could hear him, he quietly said “assistance please, assistance please.” No one heard so he drowned.

As women, especially women who are determined to be successful we often times become too proud to ask for help. However, King Solomon in his wisdom reminds us today of the benefits of two person working together instead of working alone. He reminds us that there is strength in numbers and it easier for us to fail when we work alone.

The Lord has placed people in our lives so that they can help us. If today you are having a challenge whether it is in your marriage, at work or even in your spiritual life, don’t be afraid of shouting for help. The bible tells us further in Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” It therefore means then that it is good to ask for help.

Here are some quotes about the benefits of working together, ponder on these today before you decide that you are going to deal with your challenges by yourself:

·         Five guys on the court working together can achieve more than five talented individuals who come and go as individuals. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

·          I can promise you that women working together - linked, informed and educated - can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet. Isabel Allende

·          Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together. Paul Ryan

·          Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together. James Cash Penney

Have A God Filled Day Ladies
