It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever tried your best to be there for your family and friends, even though it meant you had to go without? Every time they called you were there to rescue. No matter what time, what day, or what dilemma you did what you could to be right by there side. Isn’t it amazing how sometimes the same people never do the same thing(s) for you in return? They know you need assistance, but there’s always a lame excuse as to why they cannot help you out. When they were in need, you were there. But now that you are in need, they find reasons not to be there for you. Do you realize being in a storm is the worse place to find out who your real friends are, but it is usually when you find this out. While things are great, everyone is smiling. When chaos strikes, everyone exits the back door. Have you ever been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Please do not think you are the only person who has ever faced neglect and loneliness. Even our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ experienced this. When he came into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the people cheered, “Hosanna, Hosanna” but later that same week the people yelled, “Crucify Him!” There are many people who change their views just like the weather changes. Beware of these people. My friend, When You’re Left Alone … understand God is setting you up for something spectacular. The Bible declares in Hebrews 13:5 – Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. There are certain places God will take you that your current surroundings will not be able to go. There certain people who are around you right now that you know God is pulling you away from.
My brother, my sister, let nothing and no one hinder you from having and enjoying all God has for you. The Bible declares in Romans 8:37-39 – Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Beloved, When You’re Left Alone … do not get mad at God but thank Him for what He is preparing you for. Please do not misunderstand what is being said. There are certain people who mean you well. However, there are also certain people who are determined to destroy you. During your “left alone” time, God is trying to reveal this to you. Pay attention!
