The theme that links together this chapter is companionship. Life can be hard, and we need others to come alongside us and comfort us when it gets so. Whether it’s a spouse, children, neighbors or God himself, we need companions to make life and accomplishments worthwhile. There has to be a reason outside of me for what I do. That is built into my DNA. I do not have to be with others all the time, but I need others. God’s idea was not a lone Adam, but a full planet to love.
LORD, give me the wisdom to cultivate godly companions, and so fulfill your destiny for me.
Ecclesiastes 4
