If God left us for a single hour

"Don't leave us!" Jeremiah 14:9

How much is summed up in those three words! What would it be for God to leave us? What and where would we be—if God left us for a single hour? What would become of us?

 We would fall at once into the hands of sin, of Satan, and of the world. We would be abandoned to our own evil hearts—abandoned, utterly abandoned to the unbelief, the infidelity, to all the filth and sensuality of our wicked nature—to fill up the measure of our iniquities, until we sank under His wrath to rise no more!
