Psalms 73:23
As parents our children are always in our hearts and on our minds regardless of age and the same is true for our closest friends who have been there through the tests of time. Did you know that you are always on God’s mind? And the reason? The reason is that you belong to Christ Jesus, you are positioned continually with God. He is always thinking of you for your good. You are continually in His favor and His love for you is perfect and everlasting.
Scripture tells us that David was not a man without failures and faults and he was fully aware of his own sinful nature. Yet, David voiced an outburst in a declaration of faith singing “nevertheless, I am continually with You.” God’s love is stronger than life’s stormy trials, stronger than obstacles or hurdles. His love is stronger than sickness and death; there is no greater love than our God in Christ Jesus. It’s higher than every mountain, lower than the deepest valley and deeper than the ocean. If one traveled the universe through space and time, God’s love for you could not be measured. He’s Amazing and His grace is Surprising!
God sees you in Christ. Although in ourselves there is nothing to boast about, He sees you wearing the righteous garments of Christ Jesus, washed in His blood. Yes, God sees you and watches over your welfare with providential care because you belong to Christ. You are always in His Hands and in His sight as the mother eagle watches over her babies. So, let’s put on the garment of praise and sing, “Nevertheless, I am continually with God.” Take a moment and meditate on this glorious truth and you will be comforted in your spirit to know that you are saved and accepted by God, and therefore can receive the awesome blessing of “continually” being in the presence of God. Hallelujah! To God be the Glory! Bless His Holy Name. “Nevertheless, I am continually with God”. Bless the Name of Jesus!
Prayer & Reflection: Heavenly Father, I admit there are many times I forget that I am continually with You in Your Presence. Thank you for Your Amazing grace of perfect love beautifully expressed in Christ and His death, burial and resurrection. Help me to daily remember that I am continually with You forever in Christ Jesus. I surrender my total self to You; imperfect will in exchange for Your perfect will in my life. Oh God, only You know all things according to Your purposes and plan for Your children. In the Mighty Name of Jesus!
