UK 10:19{Is not this one of those very strong promises which we are apt to think are worded a little too strongly, and off which we take a great discount? Now, instead of daring a "Yea, hath God said?" let us just take all the comfort and rest and gladness of it for ourselves. Let us believe every word, just as our beloved Master uttered it to the simple-hearted seventy who were so surprised to find His name so much more powerful than they expected. Nothing? If He said "nothing," have we any right to add, "Yes, but except..."? Nothing can hurt those who are joined to Christ, "for with Me thou shalt be in safeguard," unless anything can be found which should separate us from Him. And "who shall separate us?" Earthly tribulations, even the most terrible, shall not do it, for "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." Yet a farther-reaching and indeed, entirely exhaustive list is given, none of which, "nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us.”
Our Father, our Father, who dwellest in light.
We lean on Thy love, and we rest on Thy might;
In weakness and weariness joy shall abound,
For strength everlasting in Thee shall be found:
Our Refuge, our Helper in conflict and woe,
Our mighty Defender, how blessed to know
That Thine is the power!
