In today’s society, for whatever reason, people make it seem like it’s a badge of honor to say I did X, Y, and Z by myself. God never intended for us to live this way. From the beginning, God made it clear that it was not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18).
There are certain things God has for us but, it can only come through a person. The following scriptures make this clear:
People shall give to us: Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your lap. For with the same measure that you measure it shall be measured to you again.
People help release our desires: Matthew 18:19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
People in unity bestow God’s blessing on us: Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.
For us to arrogantly say, “we don’t need anyone,” is a slap in the face to one of God’s methods for prospering us. We’re saying we’re not interested in God’s plan and we would rather sweat and toil for our victories.
Let’s open ourselves up, trust in God’s plan, and allow God to bless our lives through people.
