Do Not Walk Alone

THE LAMP DEVOTION
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
When God created man, He made them male and female, and made them co-creators with Him on the earth. God’s intention was that they would reproduce and populate the earth. Right from the beginning, God predetermined that no one should be alone.
He affirmed this intention when He created a partner for man and declared that “it is not right for the man to be aloneâ€. God also declared the purpose for which He created woman: to be a helper who will stand with man in the task God had given man.
Granting that not all people on earth will marry, it is inappropriate to limit this declaration only to the marriage union. We should rather interpret it to mean that we will need each other in this life; in marriage and outside marriage.
Whatever venture there is on earth, needs the corporate effort of more than one person for its accomplishment. When people set up businesses for example, they need people to help them achieve the goals of their companies.
The writer of Proverbs gives a critical reason for no one to walk alone. As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend [Proverbs 27:17]. This summarizes several benefits of friendship available when a person has a good friend. God affirmed this endowing us with unique characteristics, so we complement each other only when we live together as one. Don’t walk alone.
Prayer
1. Thank God for giving you people with whom you can live your life together.
2. Pray for the love and commitment you need to be able to effectively pair up with someone else for friendship.
3. Father please prepare me and lead me to the people who will be good companions for me.
Declaration
I declare that I am not alone in this life. God made some people to fill the inner vacuum of my life so that we can impact and influence each other. From today I abandon walking alone and team up with the right people for a successful and fruitful life here on earth in the name of Jesus.
