"Always" and "Never" - Two Explosive Words

The words always and never are potentially explosive words!

Always is defined as:
adverb:

1.Every time; on every occasion; without exception

2.all the time; uninterruptedly; continuously

3. Forever,

4. in any event; at anytime, if necessary.

And Never is defined as:
  adverb

1. not ever; at no time:  

2. not at all; absolutely not: ;  

3. to no extent or degree:

4. never mind, don't bother; don't concern yourself

 

It is necessary both to use and hear those words cautiously. They are words that can be harsh and bring a flash of anger or hurt feelings.

 

When someone begins to use the expressions, I always do it this way,  I never to that, You always do this, your never do that, beware!  You have officially entered a warzone!

 

That is when our spiritual  armor needs to flex and expand like a superhero's. Keep your armor on tight!  Wield your sword swiftly and accurately and protect your heart with your shield!

Our enemy roams about like a lion seeking whom he may devour. (See I Peter 5:8)
He wants your to believe he is a lion but he only appears as one.  He wants to make you afraid that he can devour you, but that is impossible if you are wearing your armor!

Be encouraged though because your Heavenly Father loves you and  is always watching over you and you should never forget that!


Psalms 34:15 The eyes of the LORD watch over those who do right;
his ears are open to their cries for help.
