Two R better than one “Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” Ecclesiastes 4:9 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/ecc.4.9.RV1895 Today’s verse comes from Ecclesiastes, the wonderful book that reminds us that everything is meaningless without the Lord. Today we are reminded that two are better than one. This is true in almost every way. However, if we think about it, people were probably not made to be alone, too live alone.…

While being good in always a great choice, this good are the choices that we know to be the right choices. Sometimes, these are not easy choices. When in doubt, pray about it and ask for guidance.

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the decrees of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple; Psalms 19:7 Today's verse is one of truth and relief. Of course, all verses are, but this one especially. Consider how nice it is to have a consistent and perfect law for all ages. His law never changes, and it is never influenced by others. It is the same today as it originally was. We change. We live in a world that is consistently evolving and reconstructing ideas…
