Ecclesiastes 4:11-12
Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
I might be spiritualizing a bit, but the three-stranded cord is a nickname for one of my three most impassioned prayers. It stands for my wife and me as the two that are better than one, plus a third strand, which is the Lord.
How often do you and your spouse pray and worship together? I'm not talking about grace before meals. Neither am I talking about your participation in church. I'm interested in your pattern of prayer and worship together as one before the Lord.
I, for one, pray and long for that relationship much more than I enjoy it.
How about you?
