Morning, May 11 | “I am with you always.” —Matthew 28:20 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 (NASB)

But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Devotional Video Transcript:

It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us. It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of life. O my soul, do not set your affections upon rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures, but set your heart upon him who abides forever faithful to you. Do not build your house upon the moving quicksands of a deceitful world, but base your hopes upon this rock, that, amid descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure.

My soul, I charge you, lay up your treasure in the only secure cabinet; store your jewels where you can never lose them. Put your all in Christ; set all your affections on his person, all your hope in his merit, all your trust in his efficacious blood, all your joy in his presence, and so you may laugh at loss, and defy destruction. Remember that all the flowers in the world’s garden fade by turns, and the day comes when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth. Death’s black extinguisher must soon put out your candle.

Oh, how sweet to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon roll between you and all you have; then wed your heart to him who will never leave you. Trust yourself with him who will go with you through the black and surging current of death’s stream, and who will land you safely on the celestial shore, and make you sit with him in heavenly places forever. Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell your secrets to the Friend who sticks closer than a brother. Trust all your concerns with him who never can be taken from you, who will never leave you, and who will never let you leave him, even “Jesus Christ [who] is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8) “I am with you always,” is enough for my soul to live upon, no matter who forsakes me.
