Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.â Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT) If you need God to do a reset in your life, you just have to ask him. And then you need to find people to support your reset. You can’t do something as big as a life change on your own! If you could, you wouldâbut you can’t, so you won’t. Thatâs because God has wired us so that we don’t get healed and whole until we get other people involved in our lives. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:10-12, âIf one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble . . . 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” (NLT). In other words, when you have the support of another person, you wonât be easily defeated. And a whole group of supporters is even better! Anytime you make a change in your life, youâre going to make mistakes. You’re not perfectânone of us are. In your desire to live with purpose and become the person that God wants you to be, you’re going to fall. You need people in your life who are going to help you get back up and love you through it. Community is God’s antidote to discouragement. Your small group or group of Christian friends will help you keep a right perspective. They can see what you can’t see. They can remind you of Godâs truth. Romans 12:5 says, “We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other” (NLT). In the family of God, you belong to me, and I belong to you. The people in your church and Christian community are your brothers and sisters. The family of God will last even longer than your biological familyâit will last forever! Youâre going to need the encouragement of other believers as God does a reset on your life. Find your people. It will take courage and vulnerability, and if those feel in short supply right now, ask God for help. He will help you do all things that he has called you to do. [PLAY todayâs audio teaching from Pastor Rick >>]( Talk It Over - What keeps you from being honest with others about your struggles and need for a reset?
- Do you think we should love or treat our Christian brothers and sisters differently than we do anyone else? Why or why not?
- If you think there are no opportunities for community in your life, you may just not have noticed them because you werenât looking for them. Spend some time asking God to show you where he has already provided for you in this area. The post [Why You Need Community for a Reset]( appeared first on [Pastor Rick's Daily Hope](.
