Being alone and feeling alone is something many people may experience and this may be especially true for people who are Christians. Christian ministry is often doing something for someone else.  But often this means being alone.  True for Jesus and true for his followers. 

Paul has been through many trials, yet Paul held the view that God is faithful.  Paul was facing trial in Rome, he said that all had deserted him, and no one stood up for him, but yet the Lord stood by him, and at his defence, he was able to explain the gospel message to the Gentiles.

God has shown himself faithful throughout history of his people.  Jesus declared that he will be with his disciples even until the end of the age.  Paul knew God’s faithfulness explained in the Old Testament scriptures.  Paul was empowered to stand before the Roman authorities and declare the gospel, to testify about Jesus, that he died and rose again to deliver us from our sins.

The situation can happen to us. What will we do? Will we stand firm and testify for Jesus?

We have been given a Hope, to be with Jesus, in the heavenly kingdom.
