I have worked with many horses. Sometimes a horse does not like to be tied to a fence. If the horse is afraid of being tied up, he may panic when he realizes he cannot run away. When this happens, the horse will pull on the rope until it breaks. Then the horse is free.A horse should be trained to not do this. Why? Because the horse may hurt himself or break the rope or the fence. But to avoid this, it is always good to use a strong rope. A horse can easily break a thin rope. A rope should be strong so the horse cannot break free.
Our Bible Reading today reminds us that working with someone is better than being alone. A rope that is thin will break. But a rope that has many strands will stay strong. Two people working together are like a strong rope. They can help and encourage each other as they face problems.
Think about the things you will face today. Maybe you have problems or things that are difficult to do. Remember that having another Christian to encourage and help you will make the job easier. — RB

PRAYER: Father, thank You for encouragement from other Christians. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
