Is that your heart’s desire? “Never, never out live my
love to Thee.” Do you say it with conviction? Does it touch a nerve in your
mind to always be on the lookout for a lapse in faithfulness to God?
Every time I read a line that says: “Never, never” it
causes me to pause and evaluate. A number of times in my life I have said, “I
will never” about a particular thing. As a young mother I remember saying I
will never go back to work outside my home. I will stay home with my children
and be a homemaker. I remember eating those words.
“Never” can be a scary word. Never: at no time in the past or future; on no occasion; not ever.
Is it possible to outlive my love for God? Not if my faith
is steadfast and sure. Not if I am safe and secure in His love. Not if I trust
implicitly that my life is in God’s Hands.
Psalm 62:2 says: “Truly He is my Rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”
Scripturesavvy.com: “I will never be shaken.” This is
a declaration of confidence in God’s unchanging nature. When we place our faith
in Him, no external circumstances or pressures can easily sway us. We can stand
firm and remain resolute . . . When David declares, “I will never be
shaken,” it reveals an assurance rooted in faith. This is not merely the
absence of fear or doubt; it is a faith that actively repels those feelings. We
exclaim this affirmation, knowing that even amidst the toughest of storms, our
foundation remains secure. Our trust in God is like a strong anchor in life’s
turbulent waters, ensuring we stay steady. It is through this trust that we
cultivate a spirit of resilience, ready to face whatever challenges come our
way.
May we boldly say we will never, never out live our love for
God!
By His Grace . . .
