Support for the Journey

Endurance & Persistence

Scripture

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”

Devotion

You are not meant to journey alone. Community provides support, strength, accountability, and encouragement. Scripture teaches that two are better than one. When you are tempted to give up, community holds you. When you falter, others lift you. When you lose momentum, community motivates you. Seek out companions for your journey. Be a companion for others. Sustain each other through the climb.

Today’s Step

Who are your companions on your journey? How are you supporting each other to persist? How can you deepen community support?

Prayer

God, thank You for companions on my journey. Help me to lean on others when I need support. Help me to be strong for others in their weakness. Help community to sustain us all.
