Never will I leave you – Thomas Brooks

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

These Hebrew Christians had been plundered of all they had (Hebrews 10:34). Though they had nothing they must be content. If men cannot bring their means to their minds, let them bring their minds to their means; a little will serve our turn until we get to heaven, until we come to our Father’s house.

“Never will I leave you.” This promise includes all times, all places, all states, all needs, all dangers, all distresses, all necessities, all calamities, all miseries, which can befall us in this world.

These two phrases, “God’s not leaving, God’s not forsaking,” imply all needful assistance.
I will supply all your needs,
I will heal all your diseases,
I will secure you against all sorts of dangers,
I will ease you of all your pains,
I will free you of all your oppressors,
I will break all your bonds,
I will bring you out of prison,
I will vanquish all your enemies,
I will knock off all your chains, and
I will make you triumph over all your sufferings!

God being with us, and for us, and on our side, we may boldly, safely, and confidently, rest upon it that He will freely, readily, graciously, give all needful help, assistance, and support when we are in the greatest troubles, deepest distresses, and most deadly dangers.
