Jesus Can Be Your Companion

The bible teaches us "no man can live unto himself". Some people can be lonely amongst a large crowd, but having God as your companion can be company to you regardless of your outward circumstances.

"Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you." John 15:15-16

We can always depend on the promises of God. He cannot and will not fail his children. We draw strength from our daily companionship with God. We may at times feel forsaken by our fellowman, but God is one that sticketh closer than a brother.

"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." Psalms 27:10 A Psalm of David, though he had many trials and afflictions in life, loss of a child, his family strayed from God and he even had bodily afflictions, yet in his latter years he was to pen these following words about God taking care of him for our encouragement today. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seen begging bread. Psalms 37:23-25
