Many activities can’t be done alone. You ever tried to water ski alone? How about move furniture? How about playing tennis? The activity of building up our spiritual life also requires other people around us to inspire, energize, and learn from.

I remember a fall evening and hearing a sound in the sky. Looking up, above me are geese flying in a “V” formation. There are great lessons of teamwork to be learned from geese. They fly in the “V” formation as a way to help the whole group fly further. When the geese in the front gets tired, they fall back to the end and let others take over. They share a common direction and get to where they want to go more quickly and easily.

The main thought or lesson learned from reading Ecclesiastes 4 is that God’s way is the best form of leadership. There’s power, safety, and success in pulling together because people can support, encourage, and strengthen one another. They can tap into the faith, hope, and love of other believers so their talents or skills combine to strengthen the whole body of Christ.

Here’s a video that promotes how God’s way is best and together is better: How Great Is Our God – Chris Tomlin . 🙂
 


Two are better than one because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! – Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
