God's Presence Operative
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you…


If God be with us we shall never be alone, nor shall we feel lonely — that is, if we believe in God's presence. If God be with us, He will not be inactive on our behalf. He will provide for us so that we shall not be needy or destitute (Psalm 23:1). He will guide us so that we shall not err or mistake our way (Psalm 73:24). He will protect us so that no real evil can befall us (Psalm 121:7, 8). He will preserve us that we shall not perish or lose any good thing (John 10:28, 29; 2 Timothy 4:18.)

(S. Martin.)
