'Something' More Eternal...

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.

There are so many things that compete for the allegiance and attention of our hearts. Money, success, knowledge, entertainment and others unite their voices to woo our hearts with bold claims of satisfaction and fulfillment. The reality is that each one, when pursued as an end in itself, leaves us craving something deeper, more real and more eternal than any of these offerings can ultimately provide.

We long for the transcendent. We long for what is Divine. There is nothing of this earth that can satisfy in us what we were truly made to experience. It is God Himself we need. He is the end and the fulfillment of all that we seek. All the other blessings of life pale in comparison to the richness of knowing Christ Jesus as Lord.

What the Psalmist declared by faith, we can echo in the pursuits of our lives and make the prayer of hearts today: God, we desire You and You alone. You are the all-sufficient One and we look to You for the satisfaction of our souls.

Peace,
