Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Morning Devotional For Thursday July 29, 2021 |
Morning Time: 5:41 AM PST
"Nevertheless I am continually with Thee." --Psalm 73:23
"Nevertheless,"--As if, notwithstanding all the foolishness and
ignorance which David had just been confessing to God, not one atom the less was
it true and certain that David was saved and accepted, and that the blessing of
being constantly in God's presence was undoubtedly his. Fully conscious of his
own lost estate, and of the deceitfulness and vileness of his nature, yet, by a
glorious outburst of faith, he sings "nevertheless I am continually with Thee."
Believer, you are forced to enter into Asaph's confession and acknowledgment,
endeavour in like spirit to say "nevertheless, since I belong to Christ I am
continually with God!" By this is meant continually upon His mind, He is
always thinking of me for my good. Continually before His eye;--the eye
of the Lord never sleepeth, but is perpetually watching over my welfare.
Continually in His hand, so that none shall be able to pluck me thence.
Continually on His heart, worn there as a memorial, even as the high
priest bore the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart for ever. Thou always
thinkest of me, O God. The bowels of Thy love continually yearn towards me. Thou
art always making providence work for my good. Thou hast set me as a signet upon
thine arm; thy love is strong as death, many waters cannot quench it; neither
can the floods drown it. Surprising grace! Thou seest me in Christ, and though
in myself abhorred, Thou beholdest me as wearing Christ's garments, and washed
in His blood, and thus I stand accepted in Thy presence. I am thus continually
in Thy favour--"continually with Thee." Here is comfort for the tried and
afflicted soul; vexed with the tempest within--look at the calm without.
"Nevertheless"--O say it in thy heart, and take the peace it gives.
"Nevertheless I am continually with Thee."
