Never Alone

From my recent commentary on Numbers (Evangelical Press, 2009):

"How often in our lives there are times of ongoing trials -- that is, hardships that never seem to go away! And how often we act as though there is no help, and as though we were left on our own to cope and to live! But we need to understand, as Bowes comments, that 'Amidst all the upheavings of a restless world, and all the errors of a distracted Church, the rock of truth remains steadfast for ever. The notions of men are constantly changing; the founders of systems pass away, but "the foundation of God standeth sure". The truth, the word, the promises, the covenant, of an unchanging God, are as sure as he is faithful.'"
