Psalm 73:25-26
Who have I in heaven but thee? And there is none on earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart failed: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
What of Today’s Verse…
What can truly fulfill 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 Fulfillment 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 Savior I pray. Amen.’
Words of Wisdom
Joy happens…
Every day is full of good things waiting to be experienced. That is, if you’ll let yourself experience them.
Too often we look at the world through the negative lenses of anger, frustration and cynicism. That perspective tends to block out all the good things. We consider ourselves realistic and pragmatic when we’re able to see all the problems in the world. Yet that is barely half the picture. How realistic can that be?
Open your eyes and see the goodness and beauty that surround you. Yes, there are troubles. Yes, there are problems. There are also many opportunities and positive possibilities.
Every situation, no matter how bleak, has its positive aspects. Challenge yourself to be truly realistic and to see the good, the positive, the uplifting, and the opportunity. Those who truly have the most positive vision are not naive Pollyanna’s – they’re winners.
