Crowded Lonliness

Just a few random thoughts today. Have you ever stood by yourself in the middle of a shopping mall? Ever notice the throngs of people busily passing by, never to give you a second glance?

In this world of 24-7 information, the world wide web, CNN and ESPN, real-time reporting from the edge of a hurricane or the midst of a war - we can easily become either numb to the world or overwhelmed by it.

How is it that we can operate like this? When do we have the time to "be still and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10) ?

Many of us operate today disconnected from God and disconnected from the others around us. I don't mean isolated, we're actually surronded by others on a daily basis. But with no relationships, we are alone. Adrift to float up or down with the circumstances that occur in our lives.

It's time to get an anchor. Firstly that anchor should be God. But then, we need to connect with others who can help us and be helped by knowing us. The encouragement today is to get into a few relationships with others were we can be transparent - where we can lean on them.
