Psalm 73:25-26
Whom 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.

What of Today’s Verse…
What can truly fulfil and sustain us?  Maybe the best way to answer that question is by asking another:  What can we keep when our bodies are placed silently in their graves at death?  Only our relationship with God and his people last beyond the grave.  If he is what lasts, then how can we displace him for anything that doesn’t?

Let us Pray:
Mighty Yahweh, Strength of Israel, Keeper of the Covenant and Fulfilment Maker of every prophecy-you are my hope, my strength and my future.  I live this day in wide open amazement that the keeper of the universe knows my name, hears my voice, and cares for me.  Thank you for being my past, my present, and my future, the Great I Am.  Through my Saviour I pray.  Amen.’

The Learning Curve…
That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased.

Just about everything new that you attempt is difficult at first.  You’ve never done it before, so you don’t know what to expect.  You don’t know how much time things will take.  You don’t know where to go for information.  You’re not sure you can do it.

The best approach is to jump right in and try.  If there’s something you want to, or need to do, then just get started.  Take the first step.  That first step may be awkward and slow, but you learn from it.

Experience is the best teacher.  Sure, you can prepare by reading and watching and analyzing.  Don’t develop analysis paralysis, though.  Don’t spend so much time preparing for something that you never get around to doing it.  At some point, you just need to get started.  Once you’ve done that, once you’ve made that commitment, you have momentum on your side.

And your experience will teach you things that no book ever could.
