Day 16: The Power of Community
Scriptures:
Hebrews 10:24-25 (New Testament):
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (Old Testament):
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”
Reflection: Hebrews 10:24-25 highlights the importance of encouraging one another and meeting together. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 shows the strength found in community and mutual support.
