NEVER (and I do mean NEVER) ALONE

I remember back in Sunday school (when I was a kid) we learned about a few of the Bible's warriors. I first learned of Joseph, Jonah, Joshua,Moses, David and of course Jesus and many others.  Later in life I wondered why they were considered warriors, I'm not sure about some, others it seemed self explanitory. What  is real is that they went through many trials and testings and one thing is for sure, they were NEVER ALONE, even when it seemed so. That has become my mantra for my own life and I have signs from on HIGH to back that up.  We all do, if we can believe and receive them, they are there. The resources I use are vast and a wide range of useful resources to feed on and drink from. I choose a few Scriptures in the HOLY WORD to ground me and provide a firm, solid, steady foundation for me, in this dry, thirsty place, when all hell comes at me. Deuteronomy 30:6-8  tells me not to fear or be afraid, encouraging me to be of good courage and strong cause GOD will not fail me nor LEAVE ME ALONE. I breathe deep when I read that, it revitalizes me knowing that I am not ALONE, HE is with me . That must have helped David as well, particularily when he was without his soldiers. He knew that no matter who comes and goes in his life, whether they were close to him or not, he was NEVER (and I do mean NEVER) ALONE. I have seen the signs God shows me to state HIS case.  I listen to the "positive alternative" radio station, Air 1 and it feeds me good spiritual food through their songs and radio ministry, and one song that is rocking right now is a track from a group called Capital Kings entitled: "You'll Never Be Alone." The words to this song were probably written by GOD himself and is a message to all hearts who will claim it for themselves. I take this message inside and know that I know that GOD is real to me, my life and all the drama that goes with it. Another song on Air 1, is NEVER ALONE by Barlow Girl, both songs have a message that ministers to the heart of the thing. Check it out yourself. The Bible states that GOD uses the foolish things of this world to confound the things that are wise...(1 Corinthians1:27kjv). Perhaps a song on a Christian radio station is one of those foolish things, but it ministers to my spiritman and I receive it, GLORY TO GOD!!! Listen to it yourself and see if it ministers to you as well. The words are powerful and they fit todays "people". I depend on GOD  and I want HIS PRESENCE with me in all that is me so that I am NEVER ALONE (Psalm 33: 20-22). HE uses all sorts of things to let us know we are not alone. For Jonah it was a fish stomach. Think of what GOD could have let happen in that situation, and yet what HE did. The fish knew the presence of God as did Jonah, both were used by HIM.  The Children of Israel were made aware of GOD's presence daily with a cloud and nightly with a pillar of fire. They were NEVER ALONE.  I ask GOD daily for HIM and HE shows up making me know I am NEVER ALONE, even when I walk this walk by myself. (Psalm 71:5). Does that seem strange? For those of us who don't have the crowd around us, the scripture says we have truly placed our hope in GOD, praying night and day for HIS help. (1Tim.5:5). It refers to widows (I am not a widow) but the WORD is for those who are alone. I treasure this nourishing WORD!! Another way that I know personally that GOD answers me, is the weather.  I am not going to get specific about this, it is too personal between GOD and me, but I will say that the BIBLE is true when it says .."the Heavens declare the GLORY of GOD". (Acts 2:19).  I'm grateful GOD!!!!! I am awestruck LORD!!! Jehovah Shammah - meaning The LORD is there, is a sure indication that we are NEVER ALONE (and I do mean NEVER). The babylonian captive children of Israel felt alone and abandonded, forgottened by everyone, maybe even GOD. They were wrong of course, but they had to endure a lot in this captivity and when all was said and done they learned that The LORD was there( Ezekiel 48:35). We too have to endure a lot, but it is soooo important and refreshing to know that we are NEVER ALONE, ever.  Watch for the signs that let you know that you are not  ALONE, they are there for you telling you that you don't walk ALONE, GOD is IMMANUEL, GOD is with us, collectively and individually. Jesus would routinely get  off by himself and pray to GOD- Matt.14:13,23, Mark 1:35, each of those times, describes Jesus as being alone. But look who was with HIM, not the 12, not the crowds,not family or friends,  only GOD!!! Sometimes that is how it has to be, only GOD and me (you). He said in Hebrews 13:5-6,... I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you....I will NEVER abandon you....  Now that is some good drinking right there and a nourishing plate of food to feast on!!!! GOD bless HIS people!!!
Jesus is LORD!!! Phillip.2:11,  1Corint.12:3,  Romans 10:9, Dan. 6:27, Josh. 24:17 Job 7:19, Ps.62:1-2.
