"I will never leave thee." — Hebrews 13:5 · KJV

No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any one saint, He has said to all. When He opens a well for one, it is that all may drink. When He opens a granary door to give out food, there may be some one starving man who is the occasion of its being opened, but all hungry saints may come and feed too. Whether He gave the word to Abraham or to Moses matters not, O believer; He has given it to you, as one of the covenant seed. There is no blessing too lofty for you, no mercy too wide for you. Lift up your eyes now to the north and the south, to the east and the west, for all this is yours. Climb to Pisgah's top and view the utmost limit of the divine promise, for the land is all your own. There is not a brook of living water of which you may not drink. If the land flows with milk and honey, eat the honey and drink the milk, for both are yours. Be bold to believe, for He has said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." In this promise God gives His people everything. "I will never leave thee" — then no attribute of God can cease to be engaged for us. Is He mighty? He will show Himself strong on behalf of those who trust Him. Is He love? Then with lovingkindness will He have mercy on us. Whatever attributes make up the character of Deity, every one of them, to its fullest extent, shall be engaged on our side. To sum it all up in one: there is nothing you can want, nothing you can ask for, nothing you can need in time or in eternity; nothing living, nothing dying; nothing in this world, nothing in the next; nothing now, nothing at the resurrection-morning, nothing in heaven, that is not contained in this text — "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
