Despite all the foolishness and ignorance David confessed to God, he could still confidently say that he was saved and accepted. He knew the blessing of always being in God's presence was his. Aware of his lost state and flawed nature, yet with a surge of faith, he declared, "Nevertheless, I'm continually with you." Believer, like Asaph, you too can say, "Since I belong to Christ, I'm continually with God!" This means I'm always on His mind; He constantly thinks of me for my good. I'm always before His eye. God's watchful eye never sleeps and is always watching over me. I'm continually in His hand, protected where no one can pluck me away.

I'm always on His heart, cherished as a permanent memory, just like the high priest bore the names of the tribes upon his heart. God, You always think of me. Your love continually reaches out to me, always working for my good.

You've set me as a seal upon Your arm; Your love is as strong as death, and nothing can extinguish it. What amazing grace! You see me in Christ, not in my own flaws. You view me clothed in Christ's garments, washed in His blood, and I'm accepted in Your presence. So, I'm always in Your favor, always "with You." There's comfort here for the weary soul, troubled by inner storms. Look to the calm outside. Say "Nevertheless" in your heart, and accept the peace it brings. "Nevertheless, I'm continually with You."
