====The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him====
<p align="justify"><br>
"The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long." Deuteronomy 33:12 <br>
  <br>
  These words were originally spoken of Benjamin—but all the people of God are "accepted in the Beloved," and in Him they are loved of the Father; they are His "dear children." <br>
  <br>
  But <strong>all the members of the family of God do not alike enjoy the privilege of living near to Him </strong>. Too many, alas! live at a distance from Him—they follow Him afar off. They are very much strangers to close communion with Him; they do not enjoy the light of His countenance, and are peculiarly exposed to the evil influences of the world, and to the snares and temptations of the devil. <br>
  <br>
  But those who live near to the Lord, "dwell in safety by Him," and He "covers them all the day long." They are not only <em>kept </em>by His power unto final salvation, as all the true children of God are; they are also sheltered from much temptation, and enjoy special tokens of the love and favor of their heavenly Father.<br><br> He shows them His glory in the face of Jesus Christ—and enables them sometimes to rejoice with a joy unspeakable and full of glory! <br>
