Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou has holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Psalm 73:23.
Before you engage in any important work, remember that Jesus is your counselor, and that it is your privilege to cast all your care upon Him... Do not keep Jesus in the background and never mention His name, never call the attention of your friends to Him who is at your side to be your counselor. Would not your friends look upon you as disrespectful were they at your side , and you never spoke to them or of them?...
Many complain that Jesus seems a long way off. Who has placed Him a long way off? Has it not been your own course of action that has separated you from Jesus? He has not forsaken you, but you have forsaken Him for other lovers... It is when you wonder from His side, and are fasten your affections upon some trifling thing, that you are in danger of losing your peace and trust and confidence in God...
Than it is that Satan presents to you the thought that Jesus has forsaken you: but is it not that you have forsaken Jesus.. We dare not let His name languish on our lips, and His love and memory die out of our hearts.OHC
