ALONE, BUT NOT FORSAKEN

Take time to realize that you are not alone in this world – to recognize that God has not left you on a deserted island to fend for yourself.  He has surrounded you with a universe of love and laughter, and a time that knows no end.  Even though at times you may feel like you are the last man standing, know that you aren’t.  God has told us through the scripture that we will never walk alone, and we will never not be provided for. So, if we understand the magnitude of such a statement, we’ll come to understand that just because cupboards are bare, the streets look empty, and the horizon looks dull, and gray doesn’t mean that the dust has settled and the fat lady has sung.  It is not midnight at the Okay Corral.

God is an enabler.  He meets you at your point of need and does whatever he needs to do to remedy that need.  Sometimes what you need is down time, so that your system can be tuned up.  Sometimes, you may need to have some shaky parts tightened, broken parts removed, worn parts replaced, get a little balancing done for greater alignment, get more fuel in the engine, and have your range increased so that your signals would be clearer, or you just need a total recall.  Point is, God knows just what you need to keep you on the cutting edge of performance, and he will not allow any obstacles in your path that could be a hindrance to his cause.  Lean in! He will hide you in the crest of his love and carry you through every storm.
