Very
few things in life are "always" and "never." Your wife
doesn't always tell you how to drive. Your pastor isn't always asking for
money. It's not like your kids never do a thing you say. But when it comes to
God, there are some always and nevers you can take to the bank.
He
is "always at His work" (John 5:17), never dozing off or growing
tired of meeting your needs. He is "always righteous" (Jeremiah
12:1), never changing to accommodate the times. Jesus "always lives"
to pray for you (Hebrews 7:25), to continually insure that your sins are
forgiven, if you've trusted Him for salvation. He is a rock of refuge to which
you can "always go" (Psalm 71:3).
He
will "never stop doing good" to you (Jeremiah 32:40), always
supplying you with all you really need. He tells us not to worry about money or
the future, because He has promised, "Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). His years "will never end" (Hebrews
1:12). He has "set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed" (Daniel
2:44). "Heaven and earth will pass away," Jesus said, "but My
words will never pass away" (Luke 21:33).
Life
may seem a tangled mess of empty words and broken promises. But when your trust
is in God, you're on the most solid footing of all. Blessed is the one who
"always fears the Lord" (Proverbs 28:14).
