Or so you thought, as you fought and struggle with the bricks in your pack, restacking, repacking, trying to fit them into the sack so that they don’t poke you in the kidneys or spill out the side and fall on your toe. Walking alone, on that leaf laden path in that little patch of sunshine and shade you call your own. But how come you think you’re alone. I mean God is with you right, in person, prayer or Spirit, right? What about the two-thirds of those angels that didn’t fall from grace? Do you think maybe some of them are around you fighting that fight, delivering God’s Messages, watching your back? And what of the saints on their knees or in their cars or at their desks praying for you, making sure that God hears about your blessings, needs and protection? What of those who have passed from this life to eternity? Where do they reside if not but within the memories of relationship in your beating heart and mind? Alone, far from it.

God said that one thing He made was not good. You guessed it, it is not good for man to be alone. If that is what God said is not good, do you think He would ever leave you alone, EVER, having not made provision to rectify what He said was not made good.  I mean you are His beloved Daughter or Son, right? How faulty is my memory or my thinking when I embark upon it alone? Together is where we spend eternity, why then do we ever believe that part of the plan would require us to be alone?  I mean that is where we find safety and security in these trials when we fully understand that they are never done alone? Who then would benefit from inserting, implying or compelling you to believe that you have ever been or ever could be alone? You betcha, the devouring lion who would certainly like to be there if you were ever alone.

I need to adjust my thinking to be an over comer. This idea that I am facing any struggle, burden or thought as a victim in dealing with it by myself is simply not truth. With what then shall I replace it?  Maybe something like, He just wants to walk with me in the cool of the afternoon.  Or something like He will never leave me or forsake me and nothing or no one can ever remove from the palm of His hand. Or He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High God may find shelter under the Mighty Wings of the Almighty.  There are so many fortifying things we could substitute for the diminishing idea of being alone. How about replacing that idea with a thought of your choosing, because we know it just isn’t true. Do you hear Him now, do you see the ministering angels around you, do you feel the prayers of the Saints and do you see your loved ones waiting for you in the presence of God? You have never been and will never be, ALONE> IN JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME.
