NOTE:  This is the finale of a five-post series so if you’re currently reading this blog top-down (most recent first, i.e., counter-chronologically) these five will make more sense if you scroll down (four) to the “Born Again…” post then read bottom-up to this one (i.e., in chronological order).  (This very rarely comes into play, only for the seldom series  of posts.)

Continuing on from the previous post with the next thought that hit me while on my many-mile mega-walk today…

To bring the past few hours full circle, my many-mile mega-walk ended where it always does:  my humble abode.  But my mind goes back to a home I rented a few years ago, during the pandemic, and one day in particular when I returned from a mega-walk much like today’s and indeed at exactly this time of the year and heard a noise coming from the front coat closet.

I would describe it as a “stirring, rustling” noise, a new one I’d never heard before and I immediately realized that it was a MOUSE and that’s when it hit me:  I wasn’t alone.  (Right then, Kari Jobe’s voice started ringing in my ears…)

WE ARE NOT ALONE.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

• “… for He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you'” (Hebrews 13:5b)

Therefore, there’s no reason to ever  be afraid!

• “so that we confidently say, ‘The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid, what shall man do to me?'” (Hebrews 13:6)

That doesn’t mean you’ll never feel  lonely, but rest assured that you’ll never, ever be alone.  If you know the Lord as your Savior, He’ll always be within you, and even if you don’t  He’ll be right there:  watching, working, waiting for you to make that wisest and warmest and most wonderful choice anyone will ever make.

• “the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous” (1 Peter 3:12a)
• “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” (Hebrews 4:13)

We just entered “the most wonderful time of the year”, the Christmas season.  But the most wonderful day  of the year and best moment  of your entire life will be when you do choose to put your trust in Him; it’s so true:  He’ll never let you down, you’ll never be disappointed.

• “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed” (Romans 10:11)
• “he who believes in Him shall not be disappointed” (1 Peter 2:6)

Either way, always remember that you are not alone.  God is always there for you, just waiting to get that call.  And I am here for you, for as long as the Lord lingers in lending me breath.  Yes, indeed:  you are not alone.
