"Alone?"
The writer of Ecclesiastes paints a depressing picture of a man who strives to gain the whole world alone, then asks himself, "Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?" The writer concludes, "It is all so meaningless and depressing" ( Ecclesiastes 4:8 ). How much better it is to go through life with a strong network of support. When you share your trials and triumphs with others, you soon realize that you're not alone. And somehow, when we stand together, life's challenges don't seem so daunting anymore.
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two men can stand back-to-back and conquer.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
