Alone? by Gary Rose

The INTERNET can be very addicting;and social media is the most addicting of all. Meeting old friends and finding new ones is a great source of pleasure. But, what if the power goes out (as it does frequently in the rainy season in Florida)? What do you do?

Read a book?

Work?

Actually talk to someone.

What if there is nothing to do and suddenly you realize how alone you really are- or are you?

Psalm 46 (World English Bible)

  ¹  God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble. (emphasis added)
  ² Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes,
though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas;

  ³ though its waters roar and are troubled,
though the mountains tremble with their swelling.
Selah.

  ⁴ There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad,
the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

  ⁵ God is in her midst. She shall not be moved.
God will help her at dawn.

  ⁶ The nations raged. The kingdoms were moved.
He lifted his voice, and the earth melted.

  ⁷ Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.

  ⁸ Come, see Yahweh’s works,
what desolations he has made in the earth.

  ⁹ He makes wars cease to the end of the earth.
He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear.
He burns the chariots 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.” (emphasis added)

  ¹¹ Yahweh of Armies is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Selah.

God is always there, waiting. He and He alone will never leave you or forsake you. And maybe, just maybe that power went out for a reason? So, use the opportunity to re-connect with God. Remember, you always have the power to prayer. Go ahead, our Heavenly Father would love to hear from you!!!
