Verse 11 is wonderfully re-assuring to know that God is near us all the time, so when we are working in His vineyard and doing His will. He has promised ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’. See God’s promise to Moses. ‘Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee’ ( Deuteronomy 31:6). It is therefore important that we are sure we are always working according to God’s will for us, so that we can trust and resign to His care, even at such moments of distress or trial. That faith and communion with God is priceless. Paul is a good example of tenacious faith. That is what we need in order to complete this race triumphantly, and confirms Paul’s statement and urging in Romans 8:35, ‘For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord’. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Verses 38-39. God is more than able to deliver, and continues to workout His purpose.
