Alone…
This word almost leaves an empty feeling. In fact, when God created man He said it
wasn’t good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18) so He created a woman. The Lord has blessed us with people in our
lives so that we are not alone. Despite
all the people in our lives sometimes we still feel alone; yet, we are never
alone. God is with us always (Matthew
28:20). We never have to worry that He
will leave us; we don’t have to have that empty feeling.
Then one could consider a different aspect of the word “alone”. It is not always a word that leaves an empty
feeling. It is actually a very powerful
word. You see…there is one God and He
ALONE is God. “For you are great and do
wondrous things; you alone are God.” (Psalm 86:10) Nehemiah 9:6 notes, “You are the Lord, you
alone. You have made heaven, the heaven
of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and
all that is in them; and you preserve all of them, and the host of heaven
worships you.” There are no other gods
and God doesn’t bear names that you cannot find in scripture.
So, really the word Alone is not at all an empty word. It is a word that gives us Hope. God ALONE is our God and He will never leave
us ALONE. Puts a whole new perspective
on a lonely word.
