Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively.

Reflect

What do you think of the Philosopher’s view about working hard to succeed (verse 4)?  Reread verses 9-12. Do you find these words encouraging? Why or why not? Is there someone to whom you can offer encouragement today?

Sovereign God, I know that my life is in your hands. Help me to live according to your will. May my words and actions this day be pleasing in your sight. Amen.
