Meditate
On
I
will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I
will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor
forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]
Hebrews
13:5, AMP
Never Forsaken
On
the cross of Calvary, Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken
Me?” so that you and I will never be forsaken by God. A divine exchange took
place. Jesus took our sins and gave up the presence of God, while we took
Jesus’ righteousness and received the presence of God that Jesus had. God’s
presence is now ours for eternity!
When
God said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5), a “double
negative” is used to convey the strongest sense of “never” possible in the
Greek language. The Greek words ou me are used, which in essence mean, “never
never” or “never ever.” And this double negative appears twice in this one
statement from the Lord—ou me is used for both “never” and “nor.” In other
words, God is saying, “I will never never leave you and I will never never
forsake you!” The Amplified Bible brings out the strength of what God really
meant (see today’s verse).
My
friend, settle it in your heart once and for all—God will never leave you! He
will never forsake you! And if you hear anyone telling you that you can forfeit
the presence of God, stop listening. Don’t let that person rob you of the
certainty of God’s presence in your life. When God says “never ever,” He means
“never ever,” and our God cannot lie! This means that Jesus, your peace,
provision and wisdom, is always with you. Believe it, practice His presence and
see good success!
