There may be times in 2024 when we feel isolated, but Scripture provides a rock-solid promise this is not the case.

9. We are not alone.

This is a twofold promise.

The Lord is always with us.

• “Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me” (Psalm 118:7).
• “My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth” Psalm 121:2).
• Hebrews 13:6 says, “So we can say with confidence, ‘My help comes from the Lord, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

We have one another.

Peter reminds us all believers are going through the same thing. “Be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So, after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation” (1 Peter 5:9-10).

We can rely on one another. We can ask one another for help. We’re certainly not on this journey of life alone.

Cling to this rock-solid promise if you experience feelings of isolation or loneliness this year.

Thanks for reading, and we’ll talk again tomorrow at 6 a.m.
