Focused On God
Posted on Jan 14, 2008 under Living |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.
It seems we all hang on to this life, grasping at ways to make it last longer and working to acquire as much as we can while we’re here. We desire more stuff, more fame, more financial success. And yet, none of this matters. Nothing on this earth matters.
It is only God that matters. Satan plants the seed in our minds that we need a bigger house, a flashier car, nicer clothes or even a better body. We find ourselves desiring these things, but we must resist the temptation of pursuing the things that really don’t matter. The only one we need to impress is God and He is not impressed by these things. He is impressed by our hearts and by our devotion to Him.
From this day forth I am going to make a real effort to turn away from those desires that do not bring me closer to God. I will remain focused on God.
