Our Unseen Companion

“Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)
Scripture Focus: Matthew 28:16-20


Jesus has given us a job to do. We are not left on earth solely to enjoy the benefits of our relationship with Him. He asks us to be busy serving Him, spreading His Good News throughout our planet.

Some of us are mobile and can go. As we fulfill our mission, we experience Jesus’ promise to be with us every step as we go. But what about those of us who are not mobile and cannot go to other parts of the world? Are we to live outside the circumference of His promised presence?

There is a geography of the heart. It’s possible to be so committed to obeying the Master that we direct our whole lives to the goal of spreading the Gospel. Our time and resources, our priorities, our hearts’ desires are all focused on obedience. Our prayer interests and what delights our hearts are all related to Christ’s kingdom.

For all of us—those who go and those who stay—if our hearts reach out in obedience, we each can know the personal presence of our Savior.

Insight: Ask the Lord to help you give the spread of His Gospel a high priority. Then you will know His personal presence in a wonderful new way.
