Not only do we live in a culture of people that think they don't need anyone else, we also live in a culture that thinks they don't need God.
But God made us reliant on each other (Romans 12:4-5).
Moreover, He made us reliant on Him (Jeremiah 17:5-8).
The minute we think we can do it all on our own, we have stepped in to pride, and ultimately sin (1 John 2:16).
It was the same mentality that Adam and Eve fell into in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:4-7) and it continues to plague us today.
Don't let the ills of today's culture affect your thinking and behavior. You absolutely positively cannot afford to live in isolation from God. It's something we all have to die to daily but is absolutely essential to our well-being and calling.
God bless,
J.W.
