10/1/2010 - Psalms 73:23-26 Everything For Desire

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE: Psalms 73:23-26 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. 24 You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny. 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. 26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.

OBSERVATION: Look at these great promises: God will always be at our side, He will always direct us, we have a "glorious" destiny. He will always strengthen our hearts and never leave us!! Wow!! What is our part? Simply to desire him--to want Him more than anything else on earth. Sometimes that is the hardest thing to do--but the most important one. If we seek after God and give ourselves over to a deep desiring of Him, everything else falls into place--direction, companionship, protection, destiny, strength . . . everything.

APPLICATION: Honestly, I can not always say to God "I desire you more than anything on earth." All I can do is to simply ask God to deepen that desire. I want it to be that way.

PRAYER: LORD, help me to desire only You. That is what I want my heart to be: fully given over to You, above fame, comfort, pleasure, anything else!!
