JUNE 1
I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE

Scripture:  Hebrews 13:5-6 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:  for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

    So many people in life today from time to time have known what it is to feel alone.  It’s a feeling of abandonment.  It’s a feeling of helplessness.  It’s a feeling of being utterly and completely forsaken.  One of the saddest feelings is feeling like you’ve been left all alone!
    In our text verse today, we are given a promise from the Lord, that He “will never leave . . . nor forsake …”.  This promise follows a warning about being covetous and not being content with what we have.  We are admonished to be content with the things we hand and then reminded that one of those things is Jesus!  It is a bold promise from our Lord, “I will never”.  Not tomorrow or the next day or a month from now or a year from now or ever will our Lord leave us!  
     "This promise contains the sum and substance of all the promises. I will never, no, never leave thee, nor ever forsake thee. Here are no fewer than five negatives heaped together, to confirm the promise; the true believer shall have the gracious presence of God with him in life, at death, and for ever" (Matthew Henry's Commentary, Vol. 6, p.962).
     "And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of" (Genesis 28:15).
     "And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest" (Exodus 33:14).
     “You’re never alone through all the despair.  Always remember that Jesus is there.  He gave you this promise, “I’ll never forsake”.  He’s with you each moment, make no mistake.”
