Better Together

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; Genesis 2:18 (KJV)

God said in the beginning that it is not good for a person to be alone. Why? He knew that we all need someone. We are not built for isolation.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. Ecclesiates 4:9 (KJV)

Two are better than one, according to Scripture. When we partner with others, we can get more done. Also, it is more enjoyable when we do life with others. God made us for relationship. He designed us to connect with people He places in our lives. We can sharpen each other, strengthen one another, impart into each other, and share our lives like Deuteronomy 32:30 says.

How could one person chase off a thousand in battle? How could two people make ten thousand flee for their lives? Only because their rock sold them off, only because the Lord handed them over! Deuteronomy 32:30 (Common English Bible, CEB)

On our own we can get some things done. However, when we come together with another we can accomplish exponentially more. When we network with people, we can reach the world for Christ, which is not something that can be done by someone on their own.

I encourage you to begin networking and meeting other believers. And invest in something that is bigger than yourself in order to get big things done for God. Together, we can reach the world and build up God’s kingdom. We really are better together.
