Alone

Most of all, we need leaders who are not in it for themselves but are willing to make needed sacrifices to help others. We must have leaders - like Nehemiah – filled with great compassion

Everyone follows someone or something. As believers, we have to make sure the one true God holds that central and essential part of our lives. There is no one like Him in heaven above or earth below. Make the adjustments and changes in your life to demonstrate you follow Him alone.

What road are you on? Are you headed to the destination of death or life? Have you trusted in Jesus alone as the only One who can place you into a loving, personal, and eternal relationship with God?

We need each other on the journey. Traveling alone is not only lonely; it is also foolish.

Doubting God is a disease that continues to infect the human heart. God provides sin’s sacrifice; we proclaim self-sufficiency. God provides forgiveness; we carry our sin. God promises never to leave us; we feel alone.

Only God can make us holy. Maybe that has been one of your struggles. You have been trying to make yourself good enough for God. Good luck with that. But here’s the good news - Jesus came to do for us what we could not do for ourselves.

What banner do you hold high as you go into battle each day? If you hold the banner of self-sufficiency, independence or personal ambition, you will lose the battle every time. But if you hold high the name of the Lord, marching under his standard, he will give you the strength to defeat each foe.

Wherever we go, we are never alone. Jesus is always with us, even to the end. That great promise is the exclamation point on the Great Commission.

Death is an enemy. It separates us from the body and takes us away from those we love on earth. It seems final. But Jesus will never leave us alone. As we pass from death He will usher us into life. Jesus will not leave you as an orphan. He is with you during this life, through the passage of death, and throughout eternity. Jesus never leaves us alone.
