He Constantly Abides
The Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people.
~ 1 Samuel 12:22
"God's choice of His people is the reason for His abiding by them and not forsaking them. He chose them for His love, and He loves them for His choice. It would dishonor His great name for Him to forsake them; since it would either show that He made an error in His choice or that He was fickle in His love. God's love has this glory, that it never changes; and this glory He will never tarnish.
By all the memories of the Lord's former lovingkindness, let us rest assured that He will not forsake us. He, who has gone so far as to make us His people, will not undo the creation of His grace. He has not wrought such wonders for us that He might leave us after all. Our Lord Jesus is no changeable Lover. Having loved His own, He loves them to the end."(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Lord, we thank You for never changing, for keeping the same love for all Your people. Thank You for loving us all equally. Thank You Lord, for not forsaking us, when You could have just as easily walked away from us, but You didn't and for that we love You. Lord, today we pray that all Your children will be delivered out of bondage during this time of pentecost. This we pray in Jesus Christ' precious Name, Amen.
