Lo, I am with you always

"Lo, I am with you always

"Lo, I am with you always—even unto the end." Matthew 28:20

What a comforting assurance is this , my soul, which your Lord and Savior gives you—it may well remind you of another similar one: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."

Think of what the presence of your best Friend secures to you—strength for the discharge of duty; the work He gives you to do, He will help you to perform. Weak in yourself—He will empower you. He will furnish you with ability equal to your need.

His presence secures direction in your times of perplexity . Habitually consult Him—and He will counsel you. He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.

His presence secures deliverance in temptation . He will not allow you to be tempted above that you are able to bear, but will with the temptation also make a way of escape.

His presence secures support in trial . While He is always near—He is "a very present help in times of trouble." If change and bereavement should deprive you of all other friends and comforters—He will be near to sustain and cheer you.

He will be with you "always—even unto the end." And then you will be with Him in glory everlasting! "Remember Your word unto Your servant upon which You have caused me to hope."

Back to Every Day!
