A Cord Of Three Strands Is Not Easily Broken

 When God is included in any alliance, partnership, family, or company, it is a successful association. When a marriage, a business partnership or close friendship invites God to be that third cord in their relationship, it is strengthened, enduring and satisfying. Whether or not this was in Solomon's mind when he wrote, "A Cord Of Three Strands Is Not Easily Broken", including God in our relationships and activities is something we should all consider.
 When two people are of the same heart and mind, there is greater potential to stand firm, stay true, resist the enemy, maintain unity of spirit and not fall prey to an alternative philosophy or unwholesome mindset. When God becomes the third Person in such a partnership, life takes on new purpose and meaning.
 Life on earth is sometimes difficult but we have choices to make every day of our lives, in the relationships we make and activities we undertake. May we ensure that the choices we make and the activities in which we are engaged are wise, and that Christ is always the third strand in every relationship and our guide in all our decisions.
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we would always invite You into every relationship in our lives and seek Your guidance in every decision we make. Keep us from being enticed into worldly ways or seeking after the empty values life has to offer. Thank You for the Word of truth and the wisdom it contains, and help us to learn the lessons that life teaches as we keep our eyes looking to Jesus. May we stand firm, stay true, resist the enemy, maintain the unity of the spirit in a bond of peace, and not fall prey to an alternative philosophy or unwholesome mindset. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
