Always
This is one of those words that imply no exceptions. When I looked up the definition it says: “at all times, on all occasions”. This word carries with it consistency – good or bad. King David was speaking of how consistent the Lord is with Hope. It is part of God’s character. Check this out….
14 As for me, I shall always have hope; I will praise you more and more. 15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long – though I know not how to relate them all. 16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone. 17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. (Psalm 71:14-17 NIV)
The Lord is most consistent with His Character. I make mistakes and fail sometimes, but He NEVER fails and NEVER makes a mistake. He is the epitome of consistency and faithfulness. I’ve known the Lord a long time, but I feel like I know Him better today than ever because I want to consistently seek Him and He is ALWAYS there and ALWAYS available to me.
I want to be consistent with my life – a life that honors Him.
I want to be consistent with my words – words that honor and praise Him.
I want to be consistent in my pursuit of His heart – pursuit of Him in His Word.
I want to ALWAYS love and honor Him because He ALWAYS loves me, protects me and leads me.
