In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, obedience always brings blessing.

Whenever we hear someone use the word always, we have a little tendency to sort of think always because there are not many

of 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 the simple reason that always means perpetual un unending, at same time, same place.

In other 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. Because we are all human. 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, omnition, I'm the present,

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.

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.
