ASAILOR, who had only a short time before come to know the Lord Jesus as his Saviour and friend, lay on his deathbed. Sitting by his bedside, one repeated to him the beautiful words, “I, the Lord thy God, will hold thy right hand.” Isaiah 41:1313For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. (Isaiah 41:13).
“He’s got ’em both!” responded the feeble voice, in a tone of quiet, restful confidence. His faithful friend, his Lord and Saviour, did not forsake him at the end, but stood by him to the last. And then He took him home to His own presence, where there is “fullness of joy,” and where there are “pleasures forevermore.” Is not such a Friend worth having, dear reader?
