NEVER ALONE

 

Heb 13:5-6

5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

 

          Sometimes being alone is a good and welcome thing. Far away from the crowd and chaos, a person may reconnect with himself or herself. Jesus recommended retreat and rest for His disciples because they couldn’t catch a break from demands. We usually acknowledge the body when it calls for rest, but we just as often ignore the cries of the mind. Confusion and mistakes are sometimes the result.

 

          When we dissect the verse in Hebrews we find these things. We learn that the way we live our lives should be free from constantly desiring what we do not have for that is the sense of the word “covetousness.” Next, we are urged to develop an appreciation for what we already have for that is the sense of “being content.” We also need to remember that Jesus has promised His Holy spirit to be with us constantly. We are never alone. Moreover, we have the promise that He will never leave us to our own devices for that is the sense of “never forsaking” us.

The result is a confidence in our Helper and a lack of fear regarding our circumstances.

 

Ps 40:16-17

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. KJV

 

Dear Lord, in quietness and solitude I know you are there with me. AMEN
