Verse of the day: However, I am still with you. (Psalm 73. 23)
However, despite all the stupidity and ignorance that David [1] had just confessed to God, it was true and certain that he had been accepted, forgiven, and blessed by the constant presence of God, fully aware of the loss of his own position and the falsehood and wickedness of his nature, yet in a manifestation of faith He sang, “However, I’m always with you. “Believing, try to affirm, in a spirit similar to David’s: “However, since I belong to Christ, am I continually with God?
- This means I’m continually in your mind.
- God always thinks of me.
- For good.
- The Lord never sleeps; He always watches over my well-being.
- I am constantly in his hands.
- So that no one can get me out of these hands.
- I am continually in his heart.
- Placed there as a memorial.
- As the high priest always brought to his heart the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
- Oh God.
- Your love always catches up with me.
- God always makes providence work for our good; you’ve engraved me as a stamp on your arm.
- Is your love as strong as death? (Singing from Songs 8.
- 6).
- Couldn’t the many waters put out love.
- And the rivers couldn’t drown it?(V.
- 7).
- What admirable grace!.
You see me in Christ, though I am detestable in myself; you look at me dressed in Christ’s clothes and washed in his blood; I remain welcomed in his presence, continually benefiting from his favor; it is a comfort to the tested, distressed soul. and troubled inside. Look at Jesus’ patience. Say in your heart, “Nevertheless”; and receive the peace provided by this phrase: “Nevertheless, I am always with you. “
[1] Spurgeon quotes David, however, modern Bibles place Asaf as the author. However, this does not change the heart of the message of devotion.
