EB 13:5{Are you a disciple of the Lord Jesus at all? If so, He says to you, "I am with you alway." That overflows all the regrets of the past and all the possibilities of the future, and most certainly includes the present. Therefore, at this present moment, as surely as your eyes rest on this page, so surely the Lord Jesus is with you. Is it not too bad to turn round upon that gracious presence, the Lord Jesus Christ's own personal presence here and now, and without one note of faith or whisper of thanksgiving, say, "Yes, but I don't realize it!" Then it is, after all, not the presence but the realization that you are seeking—the shadow, not the substance! Honestly, it is so! For you have such absolute assurance of the reality put into the very plainest words of promise that divine love could devise, that you dare not make Him a liar and say, "No! He is not with me!" All you can say is, "I don't feel a sense of His presence." Well, then, be ashamed of doubting your beloved Master's faithfulness, and "never open thy mouth any more" in His presence about it. For those doubting, desponding words were said in His presence. He was there with you while you said or thought them. What must He have thought of them?
He will never fail us, He will not forsake;
His eternal covenant He will never break!
Onward, then, and fear not, children of the day!
For His word shall never. never pass away!
