Never alone
In the series “The Lord of the Rings” hobbits were entrusted to a task that represented the salvation of their world. Although these were the only beings without any special skills, these were the only ones who could carry out this mission.
In the movie “The Two Towers” there is a scene where the hobbits are going through a valley full of dead people. At one point it seemed that this would be the end of their journey. But this place was not their destiny, but only a point in their journey to their purpose. Although it seems that they were alone, the reality is that many other characters in other places were fighting in support of the same mission, so they were never alone.
In our last teaching we talked about the valleys of the shadow of death, and how important it is to go through them at different times during our lives. But just like the hobbits in “Lord of the Rings,” though it may seem otherwise, the reality is that we are never alone. There were beings with special powers that fought for them. We have angels that watch over us:
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14
If that is not enough let me tell you that Jesus promised to always be with us.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. – Matthew 28:20
Perhaps the valley of death you are going through make you think you are at the end of your journey. Or perhaps you think your burden is very difficult to carry, or you’re not qualified, and do not have the strength to keep going. But if you put your life in Jesus’ hands, keep going knowing that you will never be alone, and He will guide you towards your true destiny: abundant and eternal life.
