Psalm 16:2b “apart from you I have no good thing.”

[This is a full focus on Truth—only you, Lord, are truly Good. All else that I have is chaff--temporary and worthless in the long run. As the author of Psalm 73 said, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you!”

To live this Truth is freeing, powerful and focusing: “apart from YOU I have no good thing!” All else must be viewed in relation to you as elements of stewardship, as tools, as means of obeying and glorifying you. It is in you that all comes together.

Praise be to you, Lord God--Heavenly Father, King Jesus, Holy Spirit--for you are the reason for our existence, the focal point of life, the eternal and infinite God.

Therefore, I choose anew to bow down before you today and then to praise you, love you, glory in you, honor you, exalt your name and your Word. I choose to rejoice in you, revel in you, and obey you--all for your honor. May you be exalted in my life today.
