Solace Not Solitude

Today’s Scripture…

Proverbs 18:1 

Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.

Thoughts…

I am the first one to admit to being an isolator. I get drepressed or anxious and it is “Hello darkness, my old friend.” Sometimes, I need a few minutes to regroup. It is when I hunker down, even from God in that isolation that gets me in trouble.

We all need some alone time from the world. It is a great space to meet up with God and prayerfully ask for help. It is not a place to go and try and hide from Him. I don’t care what you have done or didn’t do. Hiding out in our sin is never productive.

Just remember, it is OK, to take a moment to pause. It is Ok, to find a place of solace to seek God. However, don’t let Satan try to trap you in a palace of solitude, no sound judgment will come from that place.

Prayer…

Lord, I want to thank you for providing a place for me to run and be alone with you, when I need it. ~amen.
