Accountability

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he does not have another to help him up.

Do you have an accountability partner or partners? Frends you can pray with and share the most intimate details of your life? Each of us needs such a friend or group who will hold us accountable, and if need be lift us up when we fall,. A friend of mine said he and his partner ask each other 10 questions. The last question is, did you just lie to me? One of the greatest gifts God can give you is an accountability partner. The main question is, how willing are you to lay your most intimate details before someone else,, no matter HOW close they may be? We confess our faults before God himself, asking forgivness, but confessing sins before another is a different matter. Being accountable for your actions require you to make this decision. However once you have that type of relationship with another, will help you resist bad temptations. God tells us He helps us resist, and one method He might use is to lead us to such a person or group today.
