[Rev. Doc]

Never Abandoned

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20

What great assurance, that in the midst of the work the Lord has given us to do, He will never abandon us.

During WWII six Navy pilots left their aircraft carrier on a mission. After searching the seas for enemy submarines, they tried to return to their ship shortly after dark. But the captain had ordered a blackout of all lights on the ship. Over and over the frantic pilots radioed, asking for just one light so they could see to land. But the pilots were told that the blackout could not be lifted. After several appeals and denials of their request, the ship's operator turned the switch to break radio contact--and the pilots were forced to ditch in the ocean.

We need never fear. God is always there.

Prayer: Thank God today for His constant presence in your life.

Good idea. I shall thank him for always being there for me; through good times and the bad. You will always have God to lean on in times of need.
