Never Alone

Read: Hebrews 13:5-6

I will never leave you nor forsake you. —Hebrews 13:5

Bible In One Year: Hebrews 11-13

---

Robinson Crusoe, the chief character in a novel by Daniel Defoe, was shipwrecked and stranded on an uninhabited island. Life was hard, but he found hope and comfort when he turned to the Word of God.

Crusoe said, "One morning, being very sad, I opened the Bible upon these words, 'I will never, never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' Immediately it occurred that these words were to me; why else should they be directed in such a manner, just at the moment when I was mourning over my condition, as one forsaken of God and man?

"'Well then,' said I, 'if God does not forsake me, . . . what matters it, though the world should all forsake me . . . ?' From this moment I began to conclude in my mind that it was possible for me to be more happy in this forsaken, solitary condition than it was probable that I should ever have been in any other state in the world; and with this thought I was going to give thanks to God for bringing me to this place."

Have you been forsaken by a friend, a child, a spouse? God has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). So you too can say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (v.6). —David Roper

When all around me is darkness
And earthly joys have flown,
My Savior whispers His promise
Never to leave me alone. —Anon.

Fear will leave us when we remember that God is always with us.

Hey, that's MY dog! I was wondering who he had over the other day when he told me to spend the whole day Christmas shopping. Good job Gizmo, and be sure to take Humblegunner up on that offer for assuage.

Great interview, Giz. You're sure racking up the frequent flyer miles.

Pleasure to meet Gilligan.

Y'all did a great job! I love Gizmo's interviews, but why doesn't Fred help?

Maybe Fred could interview PetroniDE's cat or even all of Abners - especially Trouble - oh wait - do Gizmo and Fred know sign language? DC is deaf, but he is training Trouble to - well- be a viking cat!

Oh gosh, I don't have a photo of my dog Charlie yet, but let me show you what he's gonna look like, lol. I should get a few pics during my Christmas break. Come to think about, I should get a few things done which I haven't got the time to do during my normal schedule. Anyway… this is what Charlie is going to look like, hehehe. And also my cat Lucky… another look alike, LOL! I promise to bring real pics next time.
