The Power of Two…

Recently, I was reading about draft horses which are very large, muscular animals that, throughout history, have been used for pulling great loads. A single draft horse can pull a load up to 4,000 Kgs or 4 Tons. But two draft horses pulling together can actually pull three times as much. If the two horses that are pulling together have trained with one another and have worked together before, the two trained horses in tandem can actually pull 16 Tons, which is a load four times as heavy as either of the horses could pull by themselves!

God knew the power of TWO and that is why He created man and woman and instituted marriage. That is why He sent the disciples two by two to proclaim the good news. Jesus promised in Mt 19:20, ”For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them”.

The Bible explains the ‘Power of Two’ in Eccl. 4:9-12, where it says, “Two are better than one…..if one falls down, his friend can help him up….Though one can be over powered, two can defend themselves.” The writer of Eccl. says in 4:12b, “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” In a Godly home, this is the secret of two becoming three!

If the husband and wife can agree with each other, they can accomplish much; but discontent, disagreement and disrespect can destroy the family itself. There is strength in unity.

Dear Friend, let not your differences destroy your own marriage. Bring it to Christ so that your family can be blessed.
