Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12b

Ponder that verse in Ecclesiastes.  One may be overpowered.  Two can defend. A cord of three strands will not be quickly broken.  It’s an interesting escalation.  It’s an interesting word picture.  It’s an interesting SYNERGY.

It’s an illustration of the POWER of 3.

I’m thinking a lot about that number.  Why, you ask?  Well, it’s because February 12, 2007, three (3) years ago, is when Irene’s Journey of Faith began.  That is the date of her initial primary care physician visit where something was amiss…

It’s been a circuitous, sometimes confusing, very surreal and challenging trek since that date.

However, Irene may have been overpowered by herself; together, the two of us can “defend”.  With the Lord as shield, protector and provision, and operating as the third cord of the strand ... we will not be quickly broken.

God is all knowing and sufficient in and of Himself.  He needs no other; he doesn’t even need the other members of the triune.  However, God Himself illustrates the POWER of 3.

We journey on ... three years and counting ... walking by faith WITH the POWER OF 3.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12b

Thanks for caring and for praying,
