(Psalm 73:25-28)…..Whom have I in heaven but You?And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.
“Whom have I in heaven but You?” This is a great question from the lips of Asaph, David’s worship leader. A question he asks after thinking about God’s grace in sustaining him through his time of doubt (Psalm 73:16-17). Is God enough? Is He sufficient for all that I need? How would you answer these questions (Psalm 16:2) (Philippians 3:7-11). Listen, if you belong to God, you possess everything you could ever need (Ephesians 1:3) (1 John 5:11-12).
While God’s blessings are innumerable and wonderful, we should not treasure His blessings above Himself. We should treasure God above all things because He is faithful to us in our failures and because He is the only One who can satisfy and sustain us now and for eternity. We should treasure God above all things because He has rescued us from judgment so that we can take refuge in Him and tell of all His works (Psalm 73:27-28).
