Loneliness
. . . There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. . .
Proverbs 18:24
Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 2:18-22.
One of the great problems of our age is loneliness. Many people today are lonely, and it is something that we can all suffer from on occasions. God did not create man to live in miserable inner loneliness. In that first Eden, God Himself came down to keep the man He had made from being lonely, and even provided him with a companion, Eve.
One of the most heartening things the Lord Jesus said to His disciples was, “Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). He came to restore fellowship between man and God, and to take away human loneliness. Jesus Christ will take away loneliness from your soul, if you put your trust in Him. He will be your companion and friend. He, is indeed, "[the] friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24).
Prayer
Father God, You want to fill all my lonely moments, and turn them into times of joy and delight. If and when, I feel loneliness, let me know Your presence. In Jesus name, Amen.
