Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional 2nd May – NEVER ALONE
For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
Recommended Reading: Matthew 28:19-20
Technology now exists that allows us to track the location of a particular smartphone. Let’s say parents are concerned about their daughter driving alone back to college, in stormy weather, after a visit. Via their phone, the parents can track their daughter’s journey until she arrives safely. In case of car trouble, they know her exact location. “I’ll be there with you all the way” takes on new meaning in the digital age.
In the Old Testament, that security was expressed another way: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” That was God’s promise to the Israelites as they prepared to cross the Jordan River and move into Canaan—and face the Canaanite tribes that occupied their land (Deuteronomy 31:6). God’s presence was one of protection. But in the New Testament, the same promise of God was applied to provision. The writer of Hebrews told his readers not to be covetous but to be content with what they had. Why? Because God would be their provision. He would be with them and never leave them.
Whether you need protection, provision, or something else—you have it in the God who has promised to always be with you.
The best of all is God is with us. – John Wesley
