"This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus; but it applies also, with variation, to all who are in Him. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is that to which we would call our readers' thoughts.
Not Left to Perish
You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
~ Psalm 16:10
"This word has its proper fulfillment in the Lord Jesus; but it applies also, with variation, to all who are in Him. The general meaning, rather than the specific application, is that to which we would call our readers' thoughts. We may descend very low in spirit till we seem to be plunged in the abyss of hell, but we shall not be left there. We may appear to be at death's door in heart and soul, but we cannot remain there. We may go very low; we may stay in the lowest dungeon of doubt for a while, but we shall not perish there.

| Sheol (The abyss) |
The star of hope is still in the sky when the night is blackest. The Lord will not forget us and hand us over to the enemy. Let us rest in hope. Out of death, and darkness, and despair we shall yet arise to lie, light, and liberty."
(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
