One of the striking paradoxes of our times is that we have come to a place in human history when people are totally alone—yet surrounded by crowds.
Life in the 21st century is very lonely for many people.
Though there are more humans alive and around us than ever, many find less fellowship, companionship, and fulfillment each year.
We move past, around, and by more and more people each day—but know fewer and fewer.
We often move faster—but not closer. We often have more contact—but less touch. We have more and more relationships—but less and less depth. And all of this leads to that aching hollow of the soul known as loneliness.
Loneliness is when God takes something or someone out of my life—so He can be closest to me. This means that loneliness is a tool in God’s hand, an opportunity for us, His children, to respond correctly. Don’t let loneliness abuse you, use it to draw close to the Lord!
God Warns About Loneliness
Open with me to Genesis 2.
God has something to say about loneliness—it isn’t good! From the pages of Genesis 2 before the Fall, God speaks His very first recorded words to man. Amazingly, in God’s first words to man, He addresses loneliness.
