ACCOUNTABILITY
The enemy goes for the solitary and the silent. You already speak silent words to yourself, and they can remain tools of the enemy if you don't confess them to God and make yourself accountable to a friend. If you keep speaking silent lies to yourself, you are providing the enemy with the weapons he most wants to use against you. Unconfessed sin and unacknowledged weakness are what he can use to destroy you. Don't give him weapons; give him a united front and a fight!
What does Ecclesiastes 4:12 suggest about the power of relationships?
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (New International Version, ©2010)
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
2 can defend themselves; a cord of 3 strands is not quickly broken
ReplyDeleteI love what The Message bible says, "By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst."
I always thought of this as me, Jesus, and my husband, but one could have many cords of three strands. Like me, Jesus, and a Bible study buddy!
