Scripture Devotion
Hard seasons don't ask you to escape them — they ask you to stand corded to what holds.
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
Reflection
Ecclesiastes 3 says every purpose under heaven has its hour; chapter 4 says don't face any of those hours alone — two are better than one, and the threefold cord is not quickly broken. Paul is blunter still: perilous times shall come. His counsel to Timothy isn't to dodge the season but to continue thou in the things which thou hast learned — to stand in it, corded to the people and the Word that hold. This is your season, this Monday, these strands. Braid them tight.
