Last time I brought to your attention that the bible is a history book and a religous book ,from Genesis to Revelation we have a sovereign God at work.It is God's world,most people forget this,or reject it ,God made us in his image,but he also made us for himelf.We were meant to live in perfet harmony with Him, he placed eternity within our hearts,we were never meant to be seperated from him.That bond between God and man changed drastically a seperation from God took place because of sin.The holy one. God could not have fellowship with us ,sin blinded us to the fact that our greatest need is God, after all we were made for him, A Christopher Walken wrote,'We are born alone,we die alone,we spend our lives looking for something,some connection,that's all we want'.There is more lonliness around than you think. That great Christian Agustine touches on it ,when he said,'You have made us for yourself,O Lord and our heart is restless until it rests in you'.We touch on two aspects of life, lonliness, and restlessness,let us consider the first one ,lonliness,God said it was not good that man should be alone,so he give him a wife,we do need friendship,but it must not stop at human friendship, we also need God's friendship and companionship,that is vital.Then there is restlessness,look out on this world, it is a restless world.Solomon was a very restless man,so he tried everything and he declared,'All is meaningless, a chasing after the wind'(Ecc 2 v 17)Our Saviour said ,'Come to me,all you who are weary and burdened,and I will give you rest,.....For I am gentle and humble of heart,and you will find rest in you souls'(Matthew11 v 28-29)
