Always

I am with you always." -- Matthew 28:20It 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 oflife.O my soul, set not thine affections upon rusting, moth-eaten,decaying treasures, but set thine heart upon him who abides for everfaithful to thee.Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of adeceitful world, but found thy hopes upon this rock, which, amiddescending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure.Mysoul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet;store thy jewels where thou canst never lose them.Put thine all inChrist; set all thine affections on his person, all thy hope in hismerit, all thy trust in his efficacious blood, all thy joy in hispresence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction.Remember that all the flowers in the world's garden fade by turns, andthe day cometh when nothing will be left but the black, cold earth.Death's black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle.Oh! how sweetto have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon rollbetween thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to him who willnever leave thee; trust thyself with him who will go with thee throughthe black and surging current of death's stream, and who will land theesafely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with him in heavenlywho never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee,and who will never let thee leave him, even "Jesus Christ, the sameyesterday, and to-day, and for ever." "Lo, I am with you always," isenough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me.places for ever.Go, sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets tothe Friend who sticketh closer than a brother.Trust all thy concernswith him Charles Spurgeon
No matter what we go through in our daily lives, we have the assurance that Christ is with us through thick and thin. No matter how bad things may get praise his name, God will use it for good.When things are going well, praise his name. Praise him in the morning, praise him always. We have a tendency to only go to Him when we come across bad times, we need him 24/7. So go to him with all your problems, go to him with all of you thankfulness. Just GO to him he will take care of you.
