Today's Thoughts: Missing the Lord
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
Have you found yourself all alone at times? Your home may be filled with people
and your schedule jammed packed with events but you feel all alone. Why is that?
I have come to find myself in that place frequently. I really believe that the
loneliness is a result of understanding the companionship with the Lord. Only
Jesus can fill our cups, only Jesus can be our source of fellowship, and only Jesus
can love us in the way that brings rest and peace to our souls. After knowing what
it is to have true fellowship with the Lord, nothing and no one can take His place.
When I find myself alone in a crowded room, I realize that I’m missing Jesus. He
has not left me, for He promises to never leave me nor forsake me. Instead, the
emptiness is a result of not finding time to be alone with Him.
Frequently in the Bible, Jesus spent time alone with His Father. He knew that He needed that uninterrupted time alone in prayer and fellowship. If Jesus needed time alone with God, how much more do we? The Lord promises that in His presence is fullness of joy. Having experienced that joy, we long for quality time alone with Him. Once we have tasted of the Lord, we know that nothing else tastes as sweet.
Ask the Lord to help you find time every day to be alone with Him. He hears our prayers and He desires to have fellowship with us. Jesus has made a way for us to come to Him freely. He will make a way for us to walk with Him daily if we are truly seeking Him
