"...and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the world" Matthew 28:20
Even while away in Florida, there is a truth that strikes my heart. The American Standard Version uses some interesting language to convey Jesus ever presence with us. He is with us for all time, as the New American Standard so clearly puts it "...even to the end of the age." However, the truth is not just eternal, but also covers distance. There is no where we can go to outrun the reach of our eternal Saviour. No matter what you do or where you go, you are always under His careful watch; and in His Holy, Perfect, and Sovereign will.
I think sometimes the tendency to live differently, depending on where we are, or what stage of life we are in, is almost a subconcscious reaction. However, this truth does not allow for this kind of thinking. Jesus is with us all the time, and He is with us everywhere we go; and so we must live the same no matter the time of place. May God free us from the desire to be free from His presence.
