My Lord and my God, would I cry out under the same conscious shame of my dreadful unbelief as Thomas did? Yes, Lord, you are still ministering, still serving. And though I lose sight of you a 10,000 times, it is plain and most evident that nothing but your strength could carry me through. In all the blessings of your finished redemption, you yourself are serving up grace to your people. You did first purchase all blessings with your blood, and now you live to see them administered by your spirit. Precious Jesus, you are ever with me. By and by, I will be with you. I will see you as you are, and I will be satisfied when I awake with your likeness. Amen. Robert Hawker.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people from this time forth and forevermore. Psalm 125:1-2.
