CHRIST OMNIPRESENT: “He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’” (Heb 13:5). When Christ said to His disciples, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and earth,” the promise immediately follows, “I am with you always.” The Omnipotent One is the Omnipresent One. The revelation of God’s omnipresence in the man Christ Jesus makes the mystery still deeper.…Here, as elsewhere in the spiritual life, everything depends on faith, accepting Christ’s words as a divine reality, and trusting the Holy Spirit to make it true to us from moment to moment. When Christ says “always” (Gk., “all the days”), He means to give us the assurance that there is not to be a day of our lives in which that blessed Presence is not with us. “Lo, I am with you always.” Let our faith in Christ, the Omnipresent One, be in the quiet confidence that He will, every day and every moment, keep us as the apple of His eye, providing light and strength for all we do. —Andrew Murray
