“ALONE!”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.”

Being alone is a terrible thing. A while back Tom Hanks made the movie "Castaway" in which he portrayed the survivor of a plane crash stranded for many years on an un-inhabited and unknown island. He was so isolated and alone that his only companion was a volleyball that he named “Wilson.” It was poignant to see how being alone could utterly change the way he viewed life.

We really do need each other! Walking life’s pathway alone can be very disheartening and terrifying. The strange thing about it is that many times, if not most of the time, it is a choice. Lonely people frequently push away anyone who attempts to draw close to them.

There have been very few times in my life where I could honestly feel that I was alone. Having said that, there are times where I have intentionally chosen to stand alone. That does not mean that I was a loner, but rather refused to go along with behavior that I felt was not honoring to the Lord. Standing alone is different than being alone! Being alone is a picture of a hermit. Standing alone is a picture of one who does not allow the perversity of this world to overwhelm them.

As you look at your own life in light of God’s will for your life, what do you see? Let me phrase that a different way: If Jesus Christ was to appear in the next few minutes would He find you standing alone for Him? As we face the storms of life and the temptations to go along with the crowd, choose to stand alone for Jesus!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

DAILY-E-VOTIONAL BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART Pastor Cecil A. Thompson June 20, 2016 TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THE DAILY E-VOTIONAL, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilathompsondailye-votional.blogspot.com TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilthebibleinoneyear.blogspot.com “ENJOY YOUR SALVATION!” Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” As a boy, I recall a woman in our church who loved to testify. It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
