No one’s ever truly alone. Nothing is hidden from God; everything is laid out bare for him (Heb 4:13). We should feel secure in knowing that we have a God that’s always present (Ps 46:1). He’s here to counsel us, comfort us, and help us cope with the difficulties of everyday life (Jn 14:25-26).
We’re told to trust God enough to pour out our hearts to him, and encouraged to cast all of our anxiety on God because he cares for us (Ps 62:8; 1 Pe 5:7). There’s a song called ‘Tomorrow’ by the Winans that’s often sung as an encouragement for those who are unsaved to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, but recently I’ve gotten a new revelation on this message, and it’s that God truly desires a relationship with each and every one of us. Let me pause here. That thought is just so overwhelming. The ‘fire insurance’ is good, and absolutely vital, but God wants a real-deal relationship with us! He already knows us through and through, and still loves us (Ps 139)! Now I challenge you to make that testimony about anyone else. He wants us to truly know who he is, not just what we’ve heard about him!
He’s told us that he will never leave us, so we should be able to say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid’ (Heb 13:5-6; Isa 54:17; Dt 31:6). It’s unfortunate that many have chosen not to believe that these things are true (1 Ti 2:4; Tit 2:11; Heb 9:28).
