“Relationship Idols”
“The Lord…is a jealous God” Exodus 34:14
God is jealous of anything that takes His place, especially a “relationship idol”. What’s that? That’s the lie that convinces you that your happiness depends on another person. When you look to somebody other than God for security, worth, joy and contentment- all the things He willingly provides-He’s jealous. So to tear down that idol in your life, He allows you to be alone.
It’s hard to have nobody to share you successes…or to pray with…or to come home to. But when God wants you to hear His voice He silences all the rest. You’re not alone because nobody likes you, you’re alone because God’s jealous for your affections and He’s drawing you to the place of intimacy with Him. He does this when He’s going to do something new in your life.
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 fulfillment. 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 than Him? And the only way you’ll discover that is by being ‘alone’ with Him!
