Bible

I’ll always remember our pastor who held up his well worn Bible and said “Every believer should wreck a copy of the BIBLE every 10 years”. In other words, we should use our Bibles so much that we gradually wear out. His challenge also reminds me of the falling apart is usually owned by someone who isn’t. This certainly became true for me.

One day I sensed that God was reminding me His word is full of truth that works. From that point on, I desired to put those truths into action in my life. For me, the Bible was no longer just a guilt producer and a dust collector. Little by little, as I read it, digested it, and underlined key phrases, my Bible began falling apart. Instead of me! As a Christian we must put into practice every verses or passages we read from the Bible or God’s Word, proving that they work.

Lonely Life

Statistically speaking, it should be impossible to be lonely on planet earth. After all, there are more than 6 billion of us roaming around this planet.

But many people in our world are lonely. One of my friends told me that she has outlived every close relative or friend in her life. In her loneliness, she wonders why God allows her to remain. If you’re lonely, perhaps we can offer some encouragement. Using God’s Word, Discover how the following three actions can help ease your loneliness.

Learn Contentment: Philippians 4:10-13, then ask God to help you to depend on Him each day and learn to be content in any situation.

Do Good for Someone: Hebrews 13:1-3, then looks someone in need of help. You’ll get rid of loneliness for both of you.

Worship with God’s People: Hebrews 10:21-25, emphasizes the value of worshiping with other believers. Find someone with whom you can Praise God.

If you are feeling all alone lean for contentment. Help someone else. And worship God with other believers. These actions will redirect your thinking and remind you that when you know God you’re never alone.

“Many people are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges”
