Psalm 73:25-26
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
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
Just do it…
As long as you’re going to do it, you might as well do it right. As long as you’re going to show up for work, you might as well do your best on the job. As long as you’re going to use that software, you might as well take a couple of hours to learn all the features. As long as you’re going to take the trouble to raise a family, you might as well make it a happy, well-adjusted one. As long as you’re going to have a life, you might as well live a life of excellence.
It doesn’t take that much more effort to do something as well as you possibly can. And as long as you’re going to do it anyway, doesn’t it make sense to give it your all? Yet, far too many people try to get by with as little as possible. And because of that, if you do just a little bit more than the minimum, you will rise above the crowd. If you show just the least bit of extra initiative, you’ll be more successful than 95% of the people in this world.
And if you throw yourself wholeheartedly into everything you do, with a total commitment to excellence, there are no limits to what you can accomplish.
It’s not a matter of time. We all have the same amount of time. It is a matter of attitude. What do you expect of yourself?
