THE PROMISE OF HIS PRESENCE
“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” – Hebrews 13:5
If the Lord is with us, all will be well; but He has promised to be with us always, even unto the end. Anyone but our God would have left us long ago; but He is longsuffering, full of compassion, and of great mercy.
He will go through the whole journey with us, He will be our God to all eternity, and will conduct us through life with safety.
He will be with us in every trouble, to support us – in every trial, to comfort us – in every difficulty, to provide for us–in every danger, to deliver us – and under all circumstances, to bless us.
He will be with us as our heavenly Father – as our firm and faithful Friend – as our God; and we shall be with Him by-and-by, as His children, dependants, and jewels, to be glorified with Him forever.
Beloved, let us rejoice in this, that God will never leave us, troubles may come upon us; but our God will not forsake His people for His great name’s sake, because it hath pleased the Lord to make them His people. Having loved His own, He will love them unto the end.
Since He has said, “I’ll ne’er depart”,
I’ll bind His promise to my heart,
Rejoicing in His care :
This shall support while here I live,
And when in glory I arrive,
I’ll praise Him for it there. – James Smith, 1840
