Alone

Alone

Do you feel alone?

You are not the first nor will you be the last. We can be in a room full of
people yet still feel as if we're all alone.

Elijah felt that way once. He was alone.

In a cave.

Elijah declared to God that he was the only one left that still served Him.

God quickly set him straight by telling Elijah that there were 7,000
others who had not bowed a knee to Baal.

Imagine...

Elijah thought he was alone and there were 7,000 others just like him.

Elijah was alone because he never connected with those who were just
like him. Why did he not connect?

Was it because he didn't take the time or thought he didn't have time?
Maybe he meant to but never got around to it. Or perhaps he was so
selfishly involved in himself that he failed to see the others.

Or....maybe he knew about the 7,000 but because they didn't meet his
standards he didn't think they were in the church?

Are you alone? Maybe today would be a good day for you to reach out
and connect to someone.

You may find that you will no longer be alone.
