Exodus 34:14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. God is jealous of anything that takes His place in your life, especially a ‘relationship idol’. It’s the lie that convinces you your happiness depends on another person. When you look to somebody other than God for security, purpose, worth and contentment- all the things He willingly provides- He’s jealous. So tear down that idol. Yes. It’s hard to have nobody to share your life with, or come home to. But when God wants you to hear His voice, sometimes He silences all the rest. Has it occurred to you that you’re alone, not because nobody likes you, but because God is drawing you to a deeper place of intimacy with Him.
Joshua was alone when God gave him the plan for conquering
When you don’t know who you are, you’ll allow yourself to be swallowed up in somebody else’s life in order to find worth and fulfilment. You’ll think you need them in order to enjoy being you. No, let God tell you who you are. After all. Who knows you better? The only way you’ll discover your true identity, is by being alone with God.
