Key Verse: "Behold, the hour cometh,
yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and
shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is
with me."
- John 16:32 KJV
Oh, what words are these! Who can harm you now? What can
befall you? When and where can you be alone, if your heavenly Father is with
you? He is with you on the ocean; He is with you on the land. He is with you
in your exile; He is with you at home.
Friends may forsake, and kindred may
die, and circumstances may change- but "my Father is with me!" may, still be
your solace and your boast. And, oh, to realize the presence of that Father-
to walk with God in the absorbing consciousness of His loving eye never
removed, of His solemn presence never withdrawn, of His encircling arm never
untwined- welcome the solitude, welcome the loneliness, welcome the sorrow,
cheered, and sweetened, and sanctified by such a realization as this! "I am
not alone, because the Father is with Me."
Are you Saved?
