What Total Desertion by God Would Mean
Psalm 13:1-6
How long will you forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long will you hide your face from me?


When the king removes, the court and all the carriages follow after; and when they are gone, the hangings are taken down, nothing is left behind but bare walls, dust, and rubbish. So if God removes from a man or a nation where He kept His court, His graces will not stay long behind; and if they be gone, farewell peace, farewell comfort; down go the hangings of all prosperity, nothing is left behind but confusion and disorder.

(J. Staughton.)
