Psalm 73:25-26

Psalm 73:25-26Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail,  but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

As David writes I hear his heart being poured out to God.  This life offers so many distractions and passions.  So many things via for our soul and can literally suck the life out of us.  Many things that are not bad but are good, but are they best?  David writes that there is nothing on earth that he desires more than God.  I wish I could say that was true of my life all the time.  But that would be a lie!  Too often things of this earth to grab hold of my desire.  Honestly they are at times things that are not evil but none the less are things that take what belongs to God.  My flesh and my heart do fail, they do fall short.  However I am encouraged today that even though they do it does not change God.  He is and was and will always be God.  God is my strength, God is mine forever.  Nothing can change that, nothing can remove that from my life.  Yes things of this earth can diminish that reality in my life.  But the truth of God is never changing.

Father thank you that you never change.  Thank you that you long to show my your strength.  Thank you that no matter what I do or do not do, that it does not change you.  Today may I be focused on you, may I be driven by you, may I desire you all throughout this day.
