Better Two or Three
If you want to run fast, run alone. If you want to run far, run together. (African proverb)
To put it another way, “When time is of the essence, fly solo.” No matter how you say it, it’s a helpful reminder, especially for those of us who tend to “run alone.” Pastor Chris Suitt makes this application: “[People] with a solid support group handle tough times a lot easier.” We need like-minded companions to help us to think properly and to make wise life choices.
A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
