Never Alone

Never 

Never is a word that often has a negative cognition.

I will never do that

Never say never

I never said that, And the list could go on and on.

God has again used music to speak directly to my heart. A new song by Tasha Layton has given me a unique perspective on the word Never.

Here are some of the lyrics:

When this broken world is breaking me down

When my tears and knees both fall to the ground

When my questions make me doubt You more than ever

You remind me that Your answer is always never

Never forgotten

Never forsaken

Never abandoned

Not for a second

I am safe in Your hands

Always and forever

You’re not working

My heart is the proof

There’s not a broken too broken for You

Will there ever come a day when You’re not holding me together?

You say never

This word in God’s voice paints such a beautiful picture. He promises over and over in scripture that we don’t have to worry about being alone and abandoned. 

Deuteronomy 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 

When we hear frightening words at a doctor’s office or hear news that stops us in our tracks, God is with us. He is there holding us. He will never leave our side. So tonight, if you are struggling and feeling lonely, scared, or lost, remember you have a Heavenly Father who wants to walk you through the valley you face. Just as Moses had to go through the Red Sea and Daniel had to go in the Lion’s Den, we may have to face the obstacle in our path, yet we will NEVER have to face it alone.
