The never leaving, never forsaking God

Today's passage of Scripture from My Utmost for His Highest:

"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."

-Hebrews 13:5 (quoting Deuteronomy 31:6)

Chamber's commentary on this Scripture is a challenge, exploring whether we really believe that God will never leave or forsake us. For example:

"We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing, that He is preparing and fitting us for some extraordinary thing by and bye, but as we go on in grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, in the present minute. If we have God's say-so behind us, the most amazing strength comes, and we learn to sing in the ordinary days and ways."
