Yesterday, I felt particularly lonely. I don’t know why. Even though I was amongst many people and in a familiar environment, I felt like no one else was there or cared that I was by myself. I think all of us feel that way at times. We feel cut off from the people around us, although they are there and the situation is not new.
Psalm 139:8-10 says, “If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.” God’s people are never alone. God has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Darkness cannot hide us from Him. He always sees us, and in fact, His gaze is always directed toward us. He doesn’t stop working on our behalf and for His glory. We can rest assured in His constant presence, guiding us and protecting us.
