Psalm 91:15 Oh, the precious presence of God with a man, will sweeten every fiery dispensation, and take off much of the bitterness and dreadfulness of it. In the gracious presence of God with us lies, our greatest happiness, our greatest honor, our greatest profit and advantage, our greatest joy and delight, our greatest safety and security. The gracious presence of God with us, will make our heavy afflictions light, our long afflictions short, our bitter afflictions sweet. He who has the presence of God with his spirit, can bear a burden without a burden. What burden can sink that man, who has everlasting arms under him, and over him, and round about him? "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall."
