My dearest friends this Revelation was so profound:
We are born alone or I should say "singly"
We die "alone" no matter how loved we are and how many surround us. We transition alone, we cannot take anyone with us.
God created us individually and made us so fearfully and wonderfully with such magnificent detail.
There will never be another exactly like us - even twins have singularity though they look alike.
God made it that way so we each could find him in a personal way and we each will only find fulfilment IN HIM and not in the things of or people of this world
We are given this instruction for our life's journey:
Phillipians 2:22
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
So my questions to you today my dearest friends is this:
Why do we depend on men so much?
Why do we fear men and the reproach of men?
Why do we really care so much what others think about us or do to us?
Why are our expectations of man so high?
The word of the Lord says in
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man brings a snare,
But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be [f]safe.
I encourage you to look to God wholeheartedly
HE IS ENOUGH
He is the all-sufficient God who will never leave you nor forsake you. He will never leave you alone and when you hope in him, he will not disappoint you.
Trust God! He is able to supply every single need we have - emotional, psychological, monetary, physical, mental, every single need.
If only we would look to him, rather than to look to man. Yes he will work through men, but it is God that will send them and move on hearts.
I can tell you my friends looking to man can bring sore disappointment sometimes, but God will never ever disappoint you when you put all your hope and trust in him
Listen to these words and maybe our prayer will be voiced this way today
Psalm 42
1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
4 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
8 Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
9 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God
Hope in God my friends -
HE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
