My Helper.

“MY presence shall go with thee” to guard thee; “and I will give thee rest”— from apprehension. A Christian has not only a pilgrimage, but a warfare to accomplish. No sooner has he set his face Zionward than he has reason to exclaim: “Many there be which rise up against me; many there be that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.” And what wonder if, while without are fightings, within are fears? And how is he to prevail over them? He knows that if left to himself he must perish long before he reaches that better country O But he is not alone O There is One at his right hand who says: “Abide with Me; for he that seeketh thy life seeketh My life; but with Me thou shalt be in safeguard.”
