2 Samuel 3:1-39; Micah 6:1-16; Romans 11:13-36
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey…when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. Luke 2:44-45
Have you ever assumed the Lord was with you when He really wasn’t? We know that positionally the Lord is always with us … but how often in an experiential way have we made “a day’s journey” supposing Him to be with us when actually He wasn’t? Losing contact with the Lord can happen by sin, worldliness, or a lukewarm heart. If this is our experience, we must go back to when we last enjoyed His company, confess our wrongs and enjoy a restored relationship with Him. —Sid Halsband
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey. —John H. Sammis
