WHETHER it is with animals or man, we see that God has intended companionship, and as we look at the lonely deer standing by the water’s edge at the close of the day; we may wonder what has happened, as they generally go in droves, and seem to love to be in company with each other.
Loneliness is a thing that most people dread, or at least dislike. Companion ship is always sought. At the beginning, God liked to talk with man, but sin came in and Adam did not like to be in God’s presence, so he hid himself behind the trees of the garden to get away from God. It is the same thing today, man does not like God nor God’s things, because he is in his sins, and that state is the opposite of God’s character. But there can be no real happiness away from God, no matter if there is the companion ship of the unsaved, it really is a path of loneliness.
God wants His creatures to be in company with Himself, so He gave His own God. is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Gal. 6:7.
