In his pursuit of wisdom and learning, Solomon discovers that few things in life hold more value or enduring satisfaction than true friendship. In Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, Solomon reflects on the importance of companionship and the benefits of people working together. He begins by stating, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). Solomon agrees with God that “it is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18).
Two are better than one in a work setting because a pair of laborers can accomplish more than a person working alone. Difficult jobs become easier with four hands and the doubled strength of two people working together. Even though profits are divided, two laborers have a better return for their efforts—they achieve more—than one person alone. Two individuals also bring a more varied skill set to the table and offer different strengths to complement and encourage one another.
Two are better than one because, “If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble,” says Ecclesiastes 4:10 (NLT). Sometimes we fall down physically and need help getting up, but the maxim has even greater emotional and spiritual implications. When we stumble in our spiritual walk or are downtrodden with emotional burdens, it’s vital to have a friend or mentor who can come alongside us and help restore us to wholeness in our relationship with God. Paul told the Galatians, “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:1–2, NLT).
If you’ve ever spent a night out in the freezing elements, you know that two are better than one because “two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone?” (Ecclesiastes 4:11, NLT). Not only is it harder to stay warm traveling alone at night, but it’s more dangerous: “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, NLT).
We need Christian friends for emotional, practical, and spiritual support through life’s hardships. If we nurture relationships with other believers, we will always have someone to help us stay on track and lift us back up when we fall. God’s people are not meant to live in isolation but walk this road together (Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:44). In the earliest days of the church, Christians “worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity” (Acts 2:46, NLT).
Jesus prayed for His followers to be united as one, just as He and the Father were one (John 17:21). This sort of unity and cooperation in the body of Christ binds believers together “in perfect harmony” (Colossians 3:12–14, NLT), allowing God’s love to be “brought to full expression in us” (1 John 4:12, NLT). The body of Christ is stronger and more protected as we care for one another through adversity and celebrate life’s victories together. As we work together and walk together in the strength of unity, we accomplish more for God’s kingdom (John 13:35).
When Solomon said, “Two are better than one,” he acknowledged that true, godly friends are a comfort in need, a help in trouble, a companion in toil, and a protective guard against danger.
In sy soeke na wysheid en leer ontdek Salomo dat min dinge in die lewe meer waarde of blywende bevrediging inhou as ware vriendskap. In Prediker 4:9–12 besin Salomo oor die belangrikheid van kameraadskap en die voordele van mense wat saamwerk. Hy begin deur te sê: “Twee is beter as een, want hulle het ‘n goeie beloning vir hulle arbeid” (Prediker 4:9). Salomo stem saam met God dat “dit nie goed is dat die mens alleen is nie” (Genesis 2:18).
Twee is beter as een in ‘n werksomgewing, want ‘n paar arbeiders kan meer bereik as ‘n persoon wat alleen werk. Moeilike werk word makliker met vier hande en die verdubbelde krag van twee mense wat saamwerk. Al word winste verdeel, het twee arbeiders ‘n beter beloning vir hul pogings – hulle bereik meer – as een persoon alleen. Twee individue bring ook ‘n meer gevarieerde stel vaardighede na die tafel en bied verskillende sterk punte om mekaar aan te vul en aan te moedig.
Twee is beter as een, want: “As een persoon val, kan die ander een uitreik en help. Maar iemand wat alleen val, is in groot moeilikheid,” sê Prediker 4:10 (NLT). Soms val ons fisies neer en het hulp nodig om op te staan, maar die leuse het selfs groter emosionele en geestelike implikasies. Wanneer ons in ons geestelike wandel struikel of met emosionele laste vertrap word, is dit noodsaaklik om ‘n vriend of mentor te hê wat langs ons kan kom en ons kan help om heel te word in ons verhouding met God. Paulus het vir die Galasiërs gesê: “Liewe broers en susters, as ‘n ander gelowige deur een of ander sonde oorweldig word, moet julle wat godvrugtig is, daardie persoon sagkens en nederig weer op die regte pad help. En wees versigtig om nie self in dieselfde versoeking te val nie. Deel mekaar se laste en gehoorsaam op dié manier die wet van Christus” (Galasiërs 6:1–2, NLT).
As jy al ooit ‘n nag in die ysige elemente deurgebring het, weet jy dat twee beter is as een, want “twee mense wat naby mekaar lê, kan mekaar warm hou. Maar hoe kan ‘n mens alleen warm wees?” (Prediker 4:11). Dit is nie net moeiliker om warm te bly as jy snags alleen reis nie, maar dit is ook gevaarliker: “’n Persoon wat alleen staan, kan aangeval en verslaan word, maar twee kan rug-aan-rug staan en oorwin. Drie is selfs beter, want ’n driedubbele gevlegte tou breek nie maklik nie” (Prediker 4:12).
Ons het Christenvriende nodig vir emosionele, praktiese en geestelike ondersteuning deur die lewe se ontberinge. As ons verhoudings met ander gelowiges koester, sal ons altyd iemand hê om ons te help om op koers te bly en ons weer op te tel wanneer ons val. God se mense is nie bedoel om in isolasie te leef nie, maar om hierdie pad saam te loop (Hebreërs 10:25; Handelinge 2:44). In die vroegste dae van die kerk het Christene “elke dag saam in die tempel aanbid, in huise bymekaargekom vir die Nagmaal en hulle maaltye met groot blydskap en vrygewigheid gedeel” (Handelinge 2:46).
Jesus het gebid dat Sy volgelinge as een verenig sou wees, net soos Hy en die Vader een was (Johannes 17:21). Hierdie soort eenheid en samewerking in die liggaam van Christus bind gelowiges saam “in perfekte harmonie” (Kolossense 3:12–14, NLT), wat God se liefde “tot volle uitdrukking in ons gebring kan word” (1 Johannes 4:12, NLT). Die liggaam van Christus is sterker en meer beskerm soos ons vir mekaar sorg deur teenspoed en die lewe se oorwinnings saam vier. Soos ons saamwerk en saam wandel in die krag van eenheid, bereik ons meer vir God se koninkryk (Johannes 13:35).
Toe Salomo gesê het: “Twee is beter as een,” het hy erken dat ware, godvrugtige vriende ’n troos in nood, ’n hulp in moeilikheid, ’n metgesel in arbeid en ’n beskermende wag teen gevaar is.

Bible Teaching of the Day
The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week, a day of rest for the Hebrew people under the Mosaic Law. But the Law also spoke of a sabbatical year. Leviticus 25:1–7 provides instructions for the sabbatical year to be observed after the Israelites moved into the Promised Land.
Leviticus 25:3–5 explains what to do—or, rather, what not to do—on the sabbatical year: “For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.” Every seventh year, then, was to be a time of no planting or pruning of crops. The Sabbath day was a rest every week, and this rest was applied to farmland once every seven years (the sabbatical year is also mentioned in Exodus 23:10–11).
If the Israelites were not to plant during the sabbatical year, what were they to eat? Leviticus 25:6–7 explains: “Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.”
The food for the Israelites, their servants, and livestock was to come from harvesting the sabbatical year’s “volunteer” crop—reaping the harvest that grew on its own accord in the seventh year. Leviticus 25:20–22 anticipates the people’s question: “You may ask, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?’ I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.” In other words, the Israelites had no reason to worry. God promised to take care of them, if they would only trust Him.
Deuteronomy 15 also speaks of the sabbatical year. In this passage, a further command is given: forgive all debt and release all Hebrew servants. If the Israelites obeyed this command, they had another promise: “The LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you” (Deuteronomy 15:6).
Observing the sabbatical year was an important sign of trust in the Lord, and it was accompanied by great blessings. Refusing to obey this command, God warned, would lead to a curse: “I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins. Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it” (Leviticus 26:33–35).
Sadly, Israel failed to observe the sabbatical years. They continued cultivating and harvesting their land on the seventh year just as they had the other years. As a result of that and other sins, God brought the Assyrians and the Babylonians against Israel, and God’s people were removed from the Promised Land for a period of time. The biblical historian notes the significance of the deportations: “The land enjoyed its sabbath rests; all the time of its desolation it rested” (2 Chronicles 36:21).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Die Sabbat is die sewende dag van die week, ‘n rusdag vir die Hebreeuse volk onder die Mosaïese Wet. Maar die Wet het ook van ‘n sabbatsjaar gepraat. Levitikus 25:1–7 gee instruksies vir die sabbatsjaar wat onderhou moet word nadat die Israeliete die Beloofde Land binnegetrek het.
Levitikus 25:3–5 verduidelik wat om te doen – of liewer, wat om nie te doen nie – in die sabbatsjaar: “Ses jaar lank moet julle julle lande saai en ses jaar lank julle wingerde snoei en hulle oes insamel. Maar in die sewende jaar moet die land ‘n sabbatsrusjaar hê, ‘n sabbat vir die Here. Julle mag nie julle lande saai en julle wingerde snoei nie. Julle mag nie oes wat vanself opskiet nie, en die druiwe van julle onversorgde wingerdstokke nie oes nie. Die land moet ‘n rusjaar hê.” Elke sewende jaar moes dus ‘n tyd wees van geen plant of snoei van gewasse nie. Die Sabbatdag was elke week ‘n rusdag, en hierdie rus is een keer elke sewe jaar op landbougrond toegepas (die sabbatsjaar word ook in Eksodus 23:10–11 genoem).
As die Israeliete nie gedurende die sabbatsjaar sou plant nie, wat moes hulle eet? Levitikus 25:6–7 verduidelik: “Wat die land ook al gedurende die sabbatsjaar oplewer, sal vir julle kos wees – vir julleself, julle manlike en vroulike dienaars, en die huurling en die tydelike inwoner wat onder julle woon, sowel as vir julle vee en die wilde diere in julle land. Alles wat die land oplewer, mag geëet word.”
Die kos vir die Israeliete, hulle dienaars en vee moes kom van die oes van die sabbatsjaar se “vrywillige” oes – die oes wat vanself in die sewende jaar gegroei het. Levitikus 25:20–22 antisipeer die mense se vraag: “Julle mag vra: ‘Wat sal ons in die sewende jaar eet as ons nie ons gewasse plant of oes nie?’ Ek sal julle in die sesde jaar so ’n seën stuur dat die land genoeg vir drie jaar sal oplewer. Terwyl julle in die agtste jaar plant, sal julle van die ou oes eet en daarvan aanhou eet totdat die oes van die negende jaar inkom.” Met ander woorde, die Israeliete het geen rede gehad om bekommerd te wees nie. God het belowe om vir hulle te sorg, as hulle Hom net sou vertrou.
Deuteronomium 15 praat ook van die sabbatsjaar. In hierdie gedeelte word ’n verdere opdrag gegee: vergeef alle skuld en laat alle Hebreeuse dienaars vry. As die Israeliete hierdie opdrag gehoorsaam het, het hulle nog ’n belofte gehad: “Die HERE jou God sal jou seën soos Hy beloof het, en jy sal aan baie nasies leen, maar van niemand leen nie. Jy sal oor baie nasies heers, maar niemand sal oor jou heers nie” (Deuteronomium 15:6).
Die nakoming van die sabbatsjaar was ‘n belangrike teken van vertroue in die Here, en dit is gepaard gegaan met groot seëninge. Weiering om hierdie bevel te gehoorsaam, het God gewaarsku, sou tot ‘n vloek lei: “Ek sal julle onder die nasies verstrooi en my swaard uittrek en julle agtervolg. Julle land sal verwoes word en julle stede sal puinhope lê. Dan sal die land sy sabbatsjare geniet al die tyd wat dit woes lê en julle in die land van julle vyande is; dan sal die land rus en sy sabbatte geniet. Al die tyd wat dit woes lê, sal die land die rus hê wat dit nie gehad het gedurende die sabbatte wat julle daarin gewoon het nie” (Levitikus 26:33–35).
Ongelukkig het Israel versuim om die sabbatsjare na te kom. Hulle het voortgegaan om hul grond in die sewende jaar te bewerk en te oes, net soos hulle die ander jare gedoen het. As gevolg hiervan en ander sondes het God die Assiriërs en die Babiloniërs teen Israel gebring, en God se volk is vir ‘n tydperk uit die Beloofde Land verwyder. Die Bybelse historikus merk die betekenis van die deportasies op: “Die land het sy sabbatsrus geniet; al die tyd van sy verwoesting het dit gerus” (2 Kronieke 36:21).
Today’s Devotional
“DAVID’S PRAYER”
Often, I have heard believers say that they do not know how to pray. Other than the Lord’s prayer as contained in Matthew 6, there are several examples of prayer in the Bible. Today I want to share David’s prayer as taken from Psalm 51 with you in which David acknowledges that he has sinned and need salvation.
Let us pray, like David with a broken and a contrite (remorseful and repentant) heart.
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me completely from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin, for I confess my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight; that You might be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts; and in the hidden part You shall make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which You have broken may rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways; and sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of shedding blood, O God, O God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
O Jehovah, open my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice; or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.
Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. Then shall You be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering; then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.” Amen and Amen
Vandag se Bemoediging
“DAWID SE GEBED”
Ek hoor dikwels dat gelowiges sê dat hulle nie weet hoe om te bid nie. Behalwe vir die Onse Vader soos vervat in Matteus 6, is daar verskeie voorbeelde van gebed in die Bybel. Vandag wil ek Dawid se gebed uit Psalm 51 met jou deel waarin Dawid erken dat hy gesondig het en verlossing nodig het.
Laat ons dan soos Dawid bid met ‘n ‘n gebroke en verslae (berouvolle) hart;
“Wees my genadig, o God, na u goedertierenheid; delg my oortredinge uit na die grootheid van u barmhartigheid. Was my heeltemal van my ongeregtigheid en reinig my van my sonde want ék ken my oortredinge, en my sonde is altyddeur voor my.
Teen U alleen het ek gesondig en gedoen wat verkeerd is in u oë, sodat U regverdig kan wees as U spreek, rein as U gerig hou. Kyk, in ongeregtigheid is ek gebore, en in sonde het my moeder my ontvang. Kyk, U het ‘n welgevalle aan waarheid in die binneste, en in die verborgene maak U aan my wysheid bekend.
Ontsondig my met hisop, dat ek kan rein wees; was my, dat ek witter kan wees as sneeu. Laat my vreugde en blydskap hoor; laat die gebeente juig wat U verbrysel het. Verberg u aangesig vir my sondes en delg uit al my ongeregtighede.
Skep vir my ‘n rein hart, o God, en gee opnuut in die binneste van my ‘n vaste gees. Verwerp my nie van u aangesig nie en neem u Heilige Gees nie van my weg nie. Gee my weer die vreugde van u heil, en ondersteun my deur ‘n gewillige gees.
Ek wil die oortreders u weë leer, dat die sondaars hulle tot U kan bekeer. Red my van bloedskuld, o God, God van my heil! Laat my tong u geregtigheid uitjubel. Here, open my lippe, dat my mond u lof kan verkondig.
Want U het geen lus in slagoffer nie, anders sou ek dit gee; in brandoffer het U geen behae nie. Die offers van God is ‘n gebroke gees; ‘n gebroke en verslae hart sal U, o God, nie verag nie!
Doen goed aan Sion na u welbehae; bou die mure van Jerusalem op. Dan sal U ‘n welbehae hê in die offers van geregtigheid, in brandoffer en voloffer; dan sal hulle stiere offer op u altaar.” Amen en Amen

Potte Van Klei:
Wanneer jy ń pragtige stuk juweliersware koop word dit gewoontlik op ń stuk swart of donker fluweel gemonteer. Ek dink dit word so gedoen, sodat die aandag onmiddelik op die prag van die stuk juweliersware gevestig word. Indien die verpakking baie kleurvol en versier is, sal dit kompeteer met die skoonheid van die juweel.
Dit laat my dink aan Paulus se opmerkings oor Jesus se bediening deur ons, toe hy gesê het: Ons wat hierdie skat in ons het, is maar kleipotte wat maklik breek ( 2 kor 4:7 ). Dis so maklik om te vergeet dat ons maar net die verpakking is waarin God se skat geplaas is. Gevolglik versier ons ons kleipotte en aanvaar erkenning vir al die dinge wat ons in diens van Jesus doen. Ons bring eer aan onsself, wanneer ons iemand vergewe het, of deernis betoon het, of vrygewig vir God se werk begedra het. Die probleem is dat ons eer en erkenning soek vir dit wat ons in diens van Jesus doen, kompeteer ons met die glans van die skat van God, wat deur ons werk.
Wanneer ons iets vir Jesus doen, gaan dit nie oor ons nie, maar oor sy heerlikheid. Hoe minder ons op die voorgrond kom, hoe meer briljant vertoon Hy. Dis die rede waarom, soos Paulus dit uitdruk, die skat in kleipotte gebêre word, sodat die eer aan God gegee sal word. Buitendien, van wanneer af is kleipotte belangrik ?
Dis wat binne die potte is, wat waarde het !
Laat die helder glans van die skat van God deur jou skyn, terwyl jy vir Hom lewe !
Clay Jars:
When you buy a beautiful piece of jewelry, it is usually mounted on a piece of black or dark velvet. I think it is done this way so that attention is immediately drawn to the beauty of the piece of jewelry. If the packaging is very colorful and ornate, it will compete with the beauty of the jewelry.
This reminds me of Paul’s comments about Jesus’ ministry through us, when he said: We who have this treasure in us are but clay jars that are easily broken ( 2 Cor 4:7 ). It is so easy to forget that we are but the packaging in which God’s treasure is placed. Consequently, we decorate our clay jars and accept recognition for all the things we do in the service of Jesus. We bring honor to ourselves when we have forgiven someone, or shown compassion, or have been generous in God’s work. The problem is that when we seek honor and recognition for what we do in the service of Jesus, we compete with the brilliance of the treasure of God, which works through us.
When we do something for Jesus, it is not about us, but about his glory. The less we come to the fore, the more brilliantly he shines. That is why, as Paul puts it, the treasure is stored in earthen vessels, so that the glory will be given to God. Besides, since when are earthen vessels important?
It is what is inside the vessels that has value!
Let the bright brilliance of the treasure of God shine through you, as you live for Him!
Vroue in die Bybel—Wat kan ons by hulle leer?
Vandag – Miriam
Wie was Miriam? Sy was die suster van Moses en Aäron. Sy is die eerste vrou in die Bybel wat ‘n profetes genoem word.
Wat het sy gedoen? As ‘n profetes het sy ‘n rol gespeel in die oordra van God se boodskappe. Sy het ‘n prominente posisie in Israel geniet en saam met die mans ‘n oorwinningslied gespeel nadat God die Egiptiese leër in die Rooi See vernietig het.—Eksodus 15:1, 20, 21.
‘n Ruk later het Miriam en Aäron krities oor Moses gepraat. Hulle was klaarblyklik gemotiveer deur trots en jaloesie. God “het geluister”, en Hy het beide Miriam en Aäron sterk raad gegee. (Numeri 12:1-9) God het Miriam toe met melaatsheid getref, blykbaar omdat sy die kritiese gesprek aangehits het. Toe Moses namens haar by God gesmeek het, het God haar genees. Na ‘n sewe dae lange kwarantyn is sy toegelaat om weer by die kamp van Israel aan te sluit.—Numeri 12:10-15.
Die Bybel dui aan dat Miriam die teregwysing aanvaar het. Eeue later het God na haar unieke voorreg verwys toe hy die Israeliete herinner het: “Ek het Moses, Aäron en Miriam voor julle uitgestuur.”—Miga 6:4.
Wat kan ons by Miriam leer? Miriam se verhaal toon dat God aandag gee aan wat sy aanbidders vir of oor mekaar sê. Ons leer ook dat ons, om God te behaag, onnodige trots en jaloesie moet vermy—eienskappe wat kan veroorsaak dat ons die goeie reputasie van ander beswadder.
Women in the Bible—What Can We Learn From Them?
Today – Miriam
Who was Miriam? She was the sister of Moses and Aaron. She is the first woman in the Bible called a prophetess.
What did she do? As a prophetess, she had a role in relating God’s messages. She enjoyed a prominent position in Israel and shared with the men in a victory song after God destroyed the Egyptian army in the Red Sea.—Exodus 15:1, 20, 21.
Sometime later, Miriam and Aaron spoke critically of Moses. They were evidently motivated by pride and jealousy. God “was listening,” and he strongly counseled both Miriam and Aaron. (Numbers 12:1-9) God then struck Miriam with leprosy, apparently because she had instigated the critical talk. When Moses pleaded with God on her behalf, God healed her. After a seven-day quarantine, she was allowed to rejoin the camp of Israel.—Numbers 12:10-15.
The Bible indicates that Miriam accepted the correction. Centuries later, God referred to her unique privilege when he reminded the Israelites: “I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.”—Micah 6:4.
What can we learn from Miriam? Miriam’s story reveals that God pays attention to what his worshippers say to or about one another. We also learn that to please God, we must avoid undue pride and jealousy—traits that may cause us to smear the good reputation of others.
