Feeling Alone

Today we are going to take a little journey through the first couple of chapters of Genesis. I want to show you something good. VERY good.

Do you remember how when God created something the Bible said, "it was good?" It says that after everything He created,

"And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, " - Genesis 1:3-4

The light was good in verse 4, the land and the seas were good in verse 10, the vegetation was good in verse 12, the sun, moon and starts were all good in verse 18, the wild animals were called good in verse. 25. Do you see the pattern here?

Ultimately, when God got to the end of the sixth day, everything actually looked VERY good in His eyes.

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day." - Genesis 2:31

God then created Adam. God was on a roll! But then God noticed something that was NOT good. Do you know what it was? The serpent? No. Chapter 3, Verse 18 . . .

"The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” - Genesis 3:18

It is got good for us to be alone.

King Solomon knew this when he wrote, "Two are better than one."

Are you alone? You don't have to be.

Sadly, we can have family members and friends up the wazoo but still feel like we are all alone. We can be walking down a crowded street and still feel like we're all alone. Why is that? God clearly says it's not good for us to feel that way.

I think it's because we allow ourselves to feel, or become, lonely. The key word in all of this is "feel." We can allow ourselves to "feel" lonely. We need to stop feeling that way. God clearly said it's not good.

So, what should we do when we are feeling alone, and we don't want to be? I honestly think God is the answer. Psalm 37:4 says that If we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will "give us the desires of our hearts."

What remains then is those who WANT to be alone. Ans that's where WE come in. We must be on the lookout for people who are feeling alone. We must "love one another" (John 13:34). That was a COMMAND by Jesus.

Love someone today. Give someone a hug today. Share the love of Christ with someone today. It is not good for man to be alone. Who knows.  By simply loving someone, we just might save a life.
