If you saw CHRIST standing
beside you all the time
(J.R. Miller, "Intimate Letters on Personal Problems")
Scripture says of Moses, that
"he endured as seeing HIM
who is invisible!" Hebrews 11:27.
That is, Moses always remembered
that GOD was right beside him,
his friend to help him--
and this made him strong.
He did not actually see GOD--
but it was as if he saw HIM.
That is, he realized the divine
presence in all of his life.
If you saw CHRIST standing
beside you all the time--
it would not be hard for you
to keep sweet, to keep control
of temper and speech.
Well, CHRIST IS beside you--
just as really as HE was beside
Mary when she sat at HIS feet
in Bethany, or beside Peter and
the other disciples as they walked
together over the hills of Judea
and Galilee.
What you need, is to realize this fact.
We know that JESUS is present with us
all the time, at every moment, by day
or by night. HE is closer than any
human friend can be to us.
Indeed, we are to practice HIS presence--
that is, we are to live all the time,
as if we actually saw HIM!
You must remember that
CHRIST is always beside
you, not only to see you--
but to help you, as your
truest and best FRIEND!
