It is all about God. First and formost. Finally, when all is said and done. It is all about God. Scripture tells us that He was from the beginning before anything else. It says in Revelation that He is the 'Alpha and Omega' which means beginning and end.
An old and horrible saying is this: "when all else fails try ...."
It ought to be that we trust God no matter what. In today's devotion, I want to give you the big thought from my time with the Father today. That was to 'loose myself in Jesus'. Think about that for a minute.
John 3:30 (nasb) --- He must increase, but I must decrease.
Galatians 2:20 (nlt) --- My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I was reading from Proverbs and Psalms again this monring, typical morning reading for me, and God made that Psalm (chapter 39) come alive. Here are some of David's thoughts about life being ALL ABOUT GOD!
Psalms 39:6-9 (nlt) --- We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me. I am silent before you; I won’t say a word...
Application? Life is meaningless without God... Hope is all from and all about God... We mess up and we need that only God can give... Which leads us to, be quiet in the presence of God!
I needed that. How about you?
