Ever had a contagious disease? I have not, but it must be totally disrupting for a person to go through quarantine, especially if it is for an extended period. Leprosy is one of the diseases that is treated with great care. People who contract it have no choice but to live lonely lives for a time. Such was the case with the lepers in the Old Testament days.
Leviticus 13:46, He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.
Are you feeling lonely? You can be surrounded by many friends but still feel lonely. You have no one to share your challenges and questions. You are brewing these things on your own. It is times like this you need a personal confidante. Someone you can trust. Someone who is prepared to give time to empathize with you. Unfortunately, in this fast paced world there are not many who can do that, other than God.
God is ever ready to hear us, but it starts with a relationship. Or, starts with us pursuing a relationship with Him. Most people neglect approaching God because they have little faith. Are we ready for God?
Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Father, thank you for your personal promises of blessings. I receive them by faith.
