Center- Day 19

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but my God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." 

Psalm 73:25-26

Today we return to the Psalms. This time it is Asaph who shares his struggles in trusting in God. Like David, Asaph also wrestles with the apparent prosperity of the wicked. Living a life of full commitment to God is not easy. It involves sacrifice. Is it even worth it? After all, it seems as though those who live in rebellion to God are doing just fine. They seem to have it all together. They are on top of the world. However, the psalmist realizes that this is just an illusion. Any pleasure and ease the wicked enjoy is superficial and temporary. True joy and strength have only one source. The God of heaven. When we make Him the center of everything, He is our strength. He is also our eternal inheritance. It is when we spend time in His presence that we begin to see things clearly. Spend a little time in Psalm 73 today. Be honest with God about the struggles in your own heart. Allow Him to be your strength.
