Things We Should Always Do
2 Peter 1:12 - For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.
Someone has humorously observed that life would be easier if it wasn't so daily! To put it another way, we are "always on" in life---always responsible for who we are and what we do and say.
the christian life is an "always on" proposition as well. there are a number of things the apostle Paul says we should always do: We should always abound in the work of the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58); we should always be confident in the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6); we should be zealous in good things (Galatians 4:18); we should giver thanks always for all things (Ephesians 5:20); we should always rejoice in the Lord (Philippians 4:4; Thessalonians 5:16); we should always use gracious speech ( Colossians 4:6); we should always pray ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17);we should always be ready to defend our faith ( 1 Peter 3:15). And yes, in the Greek language, always means always!
When certain behaviors and attitudes pay rich dividends in life, why would we not do them all the time? decide today to be always obedient to God's Word.
Amen
