WORD STUDY   I was listening to a preacher talk about dissecting bible verses to get their full meaning and he said to study each word at a time.                                                 At that time in my life Heb 13:5 was (and still is) very much a stabilizing force.  I took the first word "I" and began to look at the names of God.  The Jehovah names in the Old Testament,  (The names that God called himself) the names Jesus was called and I came up with a mind boggling study of the word "I" as the first word in the verse.  Next came the word "will"...God spoke into existence everything. He willed it....He told Abraham what He was going to do and He did it... He willed it....He brought Jesus out of the tomb according to His will.....Jesus said "I come to do my Fathers will"  Next I started on "never" - Not-ever - When I thought of it that way my mind immediately went to the word "everlasting" It stands to reason that if He will never leave us, "everlasting" is not a stretch at all.  In searching everlasting I discovered that the Greek had a picture associated with everlasting. The picture was that of an object falling into bottomless and underneath bottomless were a pair of arms to catch the falling object........ UNDERNEATH BOTTOMLESS HE IS THERE! .....  We can't fall too far because the promise is .....underneath bottomless He is there!  You can go on with the study it gets better..... "Thee" That's you, that's me... personal.....He won't leave us nor will He turn His back on us. He won't give up on us!  It doesn't matter what we go thru or how much falling or anything else.  The promise is from Him about His character and is not based on us in anyway.  Think of it...the God who created everything out of nothing has said to you and to me......  "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
