Loneliness is common place today, as social media has substituted face to face encounters with nothing more than a type writer and a screen. Meanwhile, the art of conversation has been highjacked by A.D.D., A.D.H.D. and poor people skills. If someone has a hard time relating to people, grasping the presence of an unseen God is unfathomable.
This is not what God had designed when He created man and woman, Genesis 1:27. Unfortunately, the days of God walking with Adam and Eve are long gone, a distant memory of a relational God, seeking to hold our hand, Psalm 73:23. In this dark and selfish age, few clear examples of humans who are experiencing the touch of God remain, Galatians 5:25. Reading pages of the Bible is one thing, but seeing a genuine individual of faith has become rare, a relic of a once Christian nation.
The only way to turn this fantasy into reality is through faith. Although, King David had his problems during his life, inside his heart was a man who sought to follow after God, 1 Samuel 16:7. When you add the obedience Moses exhorted Israelites to pursue in Deuteronomy 28:1-2, blessings reveal God’s presence. Faith is the bridge to God, nourished by prayer which claims the promises of Scripture. Then and only then, can the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:10 come alive, taking one day at a time by holding God’s hand!
