Thoughts for another day

April 3, 2014.

Today's verse:  Ps. 73:25. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.  (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

When I think of it, these words of the psalmist are so true in my life.  For they mean everything to me and even more.  And I love to say the same thing to God sometimes when I pray and I joy and delight in the fact that He knows it and He is pleased for truly He understands when I say, ‘Whom O Lord have I in heaven but Thee and on earth, there is none I desire more than Thee.’   For when I look back I must say He has given me the Grace to live on earth with strength and confidence.

When I wake up in the morning I think of Him and I am strengthened.  In prayer I pledge to Him that I am His son and I appropriate all that He has for me for being His son I’m entitled to it isn’t it?  He lays His hand over me and I take Jesus’ blood and put it over all that’s mine and even on those whose hearts beat for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  In most of my thoughts during the day, the Lord abides and I know that He is constantly working in my mind to keep it afloat of any stupid tendencies I may have that could cause me despair and weakness.

He understands when I say I’ve none to take care of me but Him and even when you my friend pray the same, He looks at you with that warm gaze of His.  He knows it is He alone who can fend for all of us and who can strengthen us in our lives and help us live full and confident lives.  Without Him, we would not be able to breathe and our hearts would stop beating in no time.  Without Him, there would be no thought that would emanate from our minds and neither would we be able to lift any part of our bodies for where would we be without His strength?  God is our all in all and our true refuge and that is why we can stand opposed to the world and its nefarious ways and still be strong; for with Him beside us, who can be against us?
