Solitude

Solitude. Awhile after God created Adam he decided it wasn’t good for him to be alone so he caused Adam to go into a deep sleep and pulled out one of his ribs and created a woman. We were not meant to be alone but we do see from God’s word there is a time for it. It was when Moses was alone tending his father in laws sheep that God came to him in the burning bush to prepare him to lead God’s people out of egypt. Moses went up on a mountain again alone when God gave him the Ten Commandments. Jacob was alone when he wrestled with God. Paul , alone in prison wrote letters to churches which many are now in the Bible. John, exiled to an island wrote the book of revelation after being given a vision from God that tells us of our future. Jesus often sought solitude to pray. It is when we are in solitude that God speaks to us and we can pray and heed his voice. Life is noisy. Seeking a quiet place to be with God is good. Often it’s during those times that God gives us what we need to do his will. Maybe this time of solitude that we think is because of COVID-19 is really God getting the attention of his people? Maybe he’s preparing us for something. If we take this time to pray and study his word and seek his will as individuals all together imagine what could be done when we all get together again?? It could be exciting to see!! I have went through a time of pouting about all this but lately I’ve realized how God has been working with me on the inside and now I praise him for it!! I urge all of you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, to seek alone time with him and his word! You won’t regret it!! Dear Father, thank you for your word to us. Help us, like the saints that have gone before us, to seek time alone with you so you can prepare us to do a good work for your glory and honor!!
Have a blessed day my friends!!
