Never Alone
Good morning and happy new day!!!!!!!!
Just to inspire us this morning........
Have you ever felt like you're alone?
One of the greatest gifts that God gives His children is the support and love of others. John Donne penned a poem in 1624 where he wrote the famous line: “No man is an island.” God originally declared this truth in Genesis 2:18 when He declared: “It is not good for the man to be alone.” Since that moment, God has provided helpers and support systems for mankind.
Consider Moses and Aaron. God placed a large calling on Moses’ shoulders. He would have given Moses the strength and power to do it alone, but Moses was afraid. As he balked at the assignment, God revealed that He already had help coming. Exodus 4:14 reveals this when God says, What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you.” Moses needed someone to lean on. He knew he could never survive as an island of strength. He needed someone to stand with him.
Jesus reinforced this beautiful gift when he commissioned his disciples. Mark 6:6-7 tells us: “Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits.”
Paul had Silas; Barnabas had Mark; Peter had John. We all need one another. There should be no shame in asking for help, no disgrace in needed someone to stand beside you. We all need help from time to time, and we all need a support system to encourage, correct, and assist us as we travel through this life. Don’t think you have to be an island. Don’t deny yourself one of God’s greatest gifts. Accept friendship. Relish in the help of others. God knows what we need, and like Aaron and Moses, He provides the helper we need before we even ask.
I hope you were blessed, see you soon.
