Welcome to the in touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Friday, July 26th.

If you're at a crossroads and struggling to do the right thing,

today's podcast challenges you to make obedience to the Lord your ultimate priority.

Whenever we hear someone use the word always, we have a little tendency to sort of think always

because there are not many things that fall into the category of always

and if I should ask you what do you say always what do you do always where do you go always for Where do you go always?

But the simple reason that always means perpetual,

unending, at the same time, same place.

In the words, always is one of those words we sort of casually use and sort of throw it around.

Well, I always think so and so.

No, we don't.

And when you think about, there are not many things about which we can say always. Now the only person who can really say

always without a question is God. When God always anything we know that he's

omnipotent, omniscient, omnipotent, omniscient, I, omnipresent, that he has all knowledge about all things

and that he doesn't change his mind, that he's consistent about everything.

But not any of us has the power to be that consistent about anything.

And so when you use the word always, think about what that really means.

And somebody says, well, you know, now I always, no, no, no no no no if you think about it we're not

always the same and so we don't always think the same way and so we have to use

that word very cautiously well I want you to turn if you will to the 24th

Psalm and what I want to talk about in this message is I want to talk about simply

this truth and that is obedience always brings blessing.
