“I will never leave thee.”
\n — Hebrews 13:5<\/p>\n
No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any
\none saint, he has said to all. When he opens a well for one, it is that
\nall may drink. When he openeth a granary- door to give out food, there
\nmay be some one starving man who is the occasion of its being opened,
\nbut all hungry saints may come and feed too. Whether he gave the word
\nto Abraham or to Moses, matters not, O believer; he has given it to
\nthee as one of the covenanted seed. There is not a high blessing too
\nlofty for thee, nor a wide mercy too extensive for thee. Lift up now
\nthine eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west,
\nfor all this is thine. Climb to Pisgah’s top, and view the utmost limit
\nof the divine promise, for the land is all thine own. There is not a
\nbrook of living water of which thou mayst not drink. If the land
\nfloweth with milk and honey, eat the honey and drink the milk, for both
\nare thine. Be thou bold to believe, for he hath said, “I will never
\nleave thee, nor forsake thee.”In this promise, God gives to his people
\neverything. “I will never leave thee.” Then no attribute of God can
\ncease to be engaged for us. Is he mighty? He will show himself strong
\non the behalf of them that trust him. Is he love? Then with
\nlovingkindness will he have mercy upon us. Whatever attributes may
\ncompose the character of Deity, every one of them to its fullest extent
\nshall be engaged on our side. To put everything in one, there is
\nnothing you can want, there is nothing you can ask for, there is
\nnothing you can need in time or in eternity, there is nothing living,
\nnothing dying, there is nothing in this world, nothing in the next
\nworld, there is nothing now, nothing at the resurrection-morning,
\nnothing in heaven which is not contained in this text-“I will never
\nleave thee, nor forsake thee.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
