Psalm 73:25

God gave me Psalm 73:25 the other day and is using it to pentrate my heart and change my life.

"Whom have I in Heaven but YOU? And Earth has nothing I desire besides you."

There are so many desires that I put before God. Some of them are from Him and some of them are not. Some of them may be good, but God knows what is best. For example, there are times when I want to live in the N. Georgia mountains and teach, yet I know that He has called me to Asia, and that is His best for me, not just for my sake, but for His glory and for those who are lost.

"I have but one passion - it is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ." - Count Zinzindorf

Even when God has given us a desire for a place, we must remember that ultimately we are not to thirst for that place but for HIM.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
-Psalm 42:1-2

Remember that He is all that we need. Make God the first desire of your heart and seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness.
