The first
thing that God declares not good is Aloneness: "It is not good that man
should be alone". This same reality bore the institution of marriage (Gen
2:18-25): A companionship/togetherness was born. Thus, the moment either Adam
or Eve was alone, the Devil had a chance to engage Eve in deep thought; and
everything turned around (Gen 3).
It is when
you are alone that your mind engages in different (pleasure seeking, positive
or negative) thoughts that may shape or ruin your entire life. From the mind
comes evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting,
wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. (Mk
7:21-23).
Endeavour to
avoid being which transforms into loneliness and boredom through socialization
with/in good company.
It is said,
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night”. (Psalm 1)
Nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night”. (Psalm 1)
In their
Loneliness, those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set
on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit
have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is
death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind
is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. (Rom
8:5-7).
Set your
mind therefore also on the Spiritual things.
