Does isolation feel normal? Prisoners are often put into isolation.
“Beginning in the early 1970s, prison and jail administrators at the federal, state, and local level have relied increasingly on isolation and segregation to control men, women, and youth in their custody.”
Isolation has been used as a behavioral reform physically, emotionally and mentally in order to control and change behavior.
We have been quarantined now for over a month. Do you see a behavioral change? How do you stay connected to the life source?
Questions to ponder… Are you putting God first in your life? Do you constantly think of Him? If not, what has replaced God? Have you become unplugged/disconnected? We can still remain connected to God, but cut off from everything else in our lives. God commands us to love our Lord God with all our heart, soul and mind and our neighbours as ourselves. Have you cut off part of your life?
“…And you who seek God, your hearts shall live. For the Lord hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.” Psalm 69:32-33
“He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Psalms 62:6-8
Remember “When Jesus soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death” (Mathew 26:36-44). He remained connected. He took his best friends with Him to watch and pray.
