 Two Heads Are Better Than One

By Linda Mayhan

Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. Ecclesiastes 4:9

I have been fortunate and blessed to be the only secretary my boss has ever had!  Nearly 25 years ago, he claimed Ecclesiastes 4:9 as our verse because, as a team, we are better equipped to service our clients for their best benefit. This mantra has served us well.

In the same way, Jesus told us that God did not intend to leave us alone in the work of spreading the gospel.  In John 16, Jesus tells his disciples: "7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you, but if I depart, I will send Him to you."

On Pentecost Sunday, God sent His Holy Spirit to be our helper until Christ’s return. He is our Strengthener, Comforter, Advocate, and Intercessor.  The Holy Spirit guides us in the way we should go.  He is our encourager when life is hard. He is in prayer for us at all times, and He walks before us, behind us, and beside us in all the trials and triumphs that each day brings our way. 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for knowing that we would need your Holy Spirit to navigate this world and all its demands, not in our strength but yours. Amen
