Upward and onwards towards my search for truth. Yesterday the prayer for our church missions conference was from Ecc. 4:9-12 Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
My commentary reads in the Life Application Bible "There are advantages to cooperating with others. Life is designed for companionship, not isolation, for intimacy, not loneliness. Some people prefer isolation, thinking they cannot trust anyone. We are not here on earth to serve ourselves, however, but to serve GOD and others. Don't isolate yourself and try to go it alone, Seek companions, be a team member."
That intimacy part touched my spirit. You know I was talking about feeling alone. I think the aloneness that I feel has been emotional and spiritual loneliness. So, therefore there has to be a spiritual answer. All spiritual answers come from our Heavenly Father who gives wisdom abundantly to all that ask. So, I'm not only asking for that wisdom for myself but for everyone who wants to join me in this journey. May GOD hear our prayers and answer them quickly.
Can there be any better intimacy between people than in and through prayer?
