Flying Solo

Psalm 142:4 (KJV) I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

(Proverbs 18 also read)

The lesson to be grabbed hold of is the no “man” is concerned for David’s soul.  While that may be hyperbole the point is that God does care and takes action.

We live in an age that is big on group dynamics and sharing with others.  It is part of the emergence of psychology.  Remember Bob Newhart and the group therapy sessions he would lead?  Too many look at the church that way.  It is not the final model.

While it is important to be part of the body and we are to support each other, ultimately the source of our hope and strength is God Himself.

So?  Keep your focus.  Check your spiritual compass which is found in the word and the living God.  He is the only one you can always count on.  That should be a comfort, not a frustration.
