NEVER ALONE

READ: Psalm 139:1-12

If anyone loves Me, … We will come to him and make Our home with him. – John 14:23

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 28-30

Have you ever been alone – really alone? Many people can answer yes because they feel that way every day. I’m not referring to people who live in a remote cabin on a mountaintop far from civilization. I’m talking about those who feel alone in a crowded mall, or in a church full of people.

I’m referring to people who simply cannot find anyone to connect with. Perhaps they are new to a community. Maybe they have lost a spouse. It could be that they simply feel alone because they think of themselves as different, unusual, and left out of normal communication with others.

Have you ever been alone, really alone? If so, there’s good news. If you have invited Christ into your life as Saviour and Lord, you’re never alone. You have His constant presence. Here is His promise: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). And from God the Father: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5). Recognize with the psalmist that there’s no place you can go where God is not with you (Ps. 139:7).

Sure, we all need flesh-and-blood companions, but let’s not overlook the reality of the Lord’s presence. We can depend on it. With Him by our side, we’re never alone. – Dave Branon

On life’s pathway I am never lonely,

My Lord is with me, my Lord divine;

Ever present guide I trust Him only,

No longer lonely, for He is mine. – Harkness

God’s presence with us is one of His presents to us.
