August Not Alone

TEXT: Psa. 46:1-7, MORE LESSONS: Ps. 145:18-19.

Loneliness, which is an inner emptiness yearning to be filled, is a common experience of life. Loneliness is like common cold that people catch in different ways, but unlike cold, loneliness is not a disease, it is an empty feeling that can be filled with God's presence.

In a dream, a man once saw Jesus approach three praying men. He knelt beside the first with great tenderness and love, He simply placed His hand on the second and gave him a look of approval and just passed by the third without even looking at him or stopping. Then He explained, without constant assurance, the first man will fall. The second man's faith is stronger and can be counted on. The third however, is being trained for the high calling of all.

He knows me so intimately that he doesn't need signs of my approval. No circumstance discourages him because he knows that ultimately he can trust me.

When you hit rough spots, the tendency is to feel abandoned yet the opposite is true because at that point, you are more than ever the object of God's love and concern. In our text, the psalmist says, God is present with us in trouble. When people intimidate and criticise you, when diseases threaten, when death haunts, when pressure weighs you down, it is very comforting to know that God is with you and help is available. There is some void in a man's heart that no human being can fill. Therefore having Jesus with you all the time and surrounding yourself with good people of like mind will get you out of loneliness and bring divine speed, fulfilment and satisfaction your way. Get close to God and let Him fill your void and surround you with helpers of destiny.
