Ecc 4:8-11 weey devotion

Ecclesiastes 4:8

KJV 8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Ecclesiastes 4:8The Voice (VOICE)

8 a person who is all alone—with no child, no sibling—yet he works hard his entire life. Still he is never satisfied with the wealth he gains. Does he stop to ask, “Why am I working so hard?” or “Why am I depriving myself of life’s simple pleasures?” This, too, is fleeting, like trying to catch hold of a breath; it’s a miserable situation.

It has been said that all the riches in the world mean nothing if you nobody to share them with but hard work ultimately has no value if we do not work for the Lord.

Ecclesiastes 4:9
KJV 9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Ecclesiastes 4:9The Voice (VOICE)
9 Two are better than one because a good return comes when two work together.

We can do more when we come together.

Ecclesiastes 4:10
KJV 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Ecclesiastes 4:10The Voice (VOICE)
10 If one of them falls, the other can help him up. But who will help the pitiful person who falls down alone?

We as Christians are not to knock people down but help them up to Christ.

Ecclesiastes 4:11
KJV 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

Ecclesiastes 4:11The Voice (VOICE)

11 In the same way, if two lie down together, they can keep each other warm. But how will the one who sleeps alone stay warm against the night?
