"Nevertheless, I am continually with Thee." — Psalm 73:23
"Nevertheless,"- despite all the foolishness and ignorance which David had just been confessing to God, it was 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 the writer’s confession and acknowledgment. Attempt in like spirit to say "nevertheless, since I belong to Christ I am continually with God!" This is meant to be continually on His mind, He is always thinking of me for my good.
Continually before His eye, -the eye of the Lord never sleeps, but is forever watching over my welfare.
Continually in His hand, so that none shall be able to pluck me from it.
Continually on His heart, worn there as a memorial, just like the high priest bore the names of the twelve tribes upon his heart forever.
You always think of me, O God. The bowels of Your love continually yearn towards me.
You are always making divine intervention work for my good. You have set me as a seal upon thine arm; your love is strong as death; many waters cannot quench it; neither can the floods drown it.
Oh, Surprising grace! You see me in Christ, and though in myself despised, You behold me as wearing Christ's garments, and washed in His blood, and so I stand accepted in Your presence.
I am then continually in Your favor-"continually with Thee."
Here is comfort for the tried and afflicted soul; irritated with the tempest within-look at the calm without.
"Nevertheless"-O say it in your heart and take the peace it gives. "Nevertheless, I am continually with Thee."
