Psalm 46:7-117 The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,Who has made desolations in the earth.9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;He burns the chariot in the fire.10 Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth!11 The Lord of hosts is with us;The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Psalm 46:7-11
Greg Livingstone, the missionary giant who died last year, never knew his dad. Nor was his stepfather in his life. Greg was raised in foster homes. But when he found Christ as Savior, he said Jesus took up residence in him. “I had finally been adopted by a Father who would stick with me.”1
There are times you might feel alone, but always know God is with you. He’s immediately accessible to you wherever you go. Jesus was called Immanuel, meaning “God with us.” He has adopted you into His family. He loves you constantly. We certainly need human companionship, but when we don’t have as much fellowship as we need, let’s look to Him.
If you’re feeling alone today, you can talk to God and give Him thanks for never leaving your side.
I must learn the art of taking minute vacations—of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to smile at a child, to read a few pages from a good book. I need to take more time to reflect, ponder, and enjoy companionship with God.
