Title: I will never leave you
Very often Bible verses are quoted for their perceived benefits. While this may not be wrong in itself, it relegates the Scriptures to a mere treasure chest, from which we could draw out blessings at will. And because we approach God and His word with only our good in mind, we tend to stay on the surface, and ignore the spirit of the letter.
The Lord never leaving us is a wonderful thought, but the seriousness of His continued presence should cause us to clean up our act, watch our words, and rid our minds of evil thoughts, for His attendance so demands holiness in life from us, and only then will the blessings come.
