Always

2 Sam. 14:14.......For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

Now we all know that there are deeper meanings hidden in all of God's Word; that His Truth might not be cast down before dogs. So let me ask you a question. What is it to be banished, yet not expelled from Him?

We are in the world, but not of it.......we walk in the Spirit, not in the flesh.......my friends; look in the mirror!

We are God's banished ones, no longer in our father's house or the king's palace; that many of us have distant memories of, sent away like Adam from Paradise, to be prepared and made ready for for the Groom, when He appears. Until then, we watch, listen, hear, obey... wait, watch, listen, hear, obey..... seek, listen, obey.......seemingly banished from Him who made us and yet in whose favor do we live.
