Another, Walking Beside Us!
TODAY’S READING: Matthew 28:16–20
I am with you always, even to the end of the age. -Matthew 28:20
In 1922, American poet T. S. Eliot wrote the poem “What the Thunder Said” about the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
Who is the third who walks always beside you?
When I count, there are only you and I together
But when I look ahead up the white road
There is always another one walking beside you.
Eliot notes, “These lines were stimulated by the account of one of the Antarctic expeditions . . . it was related that the party of explorers, at the extremity of their strength, had the constant delusion that there was one more member than could actually be counted.”
There is indeed another walking beside us. Jesus said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). What a magnificent promise. His presence accompanies us just as He accompanied the disciples during the days He walked this earth. He is with us in every circumstance of life, a fact that gives us courage when we have no other encouragement but His love.

Not a very hard challenge in the best of times, but it can push you to the very limits in the worst of times. I've been in the latter situation more than once, and more recently not that long ago. It was the aforementioned scripture along with 1 Corinthians 10:13, that got me through it. What I learned from it all is that promise doesn't mean you won't still be pushed to the limit.
Every time I felt Satan trying to convince me to "curse God and die," I kept repeating that scripture over and over again and thinking about Job who had it a lot worse, but still managed to remain devout despite his tragedy and despair.
