13 Zachariah
3:5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his
head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
Who
was it that stood by Joshua, when Satan accused and resisted him; when his
filthy garments bore testimony against him, and he cried to appear before God?
Surely
it was Jesus.
Jesus,
the messenger of the covenant; the minister of the true tabernacle, which God
pitched, and not man; the angel of Jehovah’s presence.
The
same Jesus stands by all His people; He stands by us.
He
stands on our side in prayer -- in trouble -- in temptation -- in all our
efforts to glorify His name.
He
stands by to instruct us in the will of God; to help us in the work of God; to
enrich us with the wealth of God; and to watch over us for good.

Beloved,
whoever leaves us, Jesus still stands by us.
Our
eyes should always be fixed upon Him.
We ought
never to forget, there is one witness to every action; Jesus stands by
observing.
We
should therefore be circumspect – grateful -- and courageous.
He
stands at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn his
soul.
He
stands ready to help, waiting to give, determined to bless.
May we
always realize that Jesus stands by, and expect counsel and help from Him.
Look
up, my soul, with cheerful eye, See
where the Redeemer stands, The
glorious Advocate on high, With
precious incense in His hands, On Him
alone thy hopes recline; His
power and love are all divine.
James
Smith
Look
up, my soul, with cheerful eye,
