Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You – Psalm 73:25
What is it that you desire – is it money? Money obtained or used outside of God becomes a master that controls and enslaves us. Is it sex? Sex outside of God becomes destructive and leads to evils and relationship issues while damaging the fabric of the society. Is it power? Power outside of God consumes us and becomes very destructive both to us and other people around. So, while there are things we can obtain in our own strength, anything obtained outside of God is a double-edged sword that brings sorrow with success. With God, we get to escape the sorrow while maintaining the success. So why would you desire anything other than God? Desire God, and the let God grant you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). The only way to have it all is to put God first. In fact, when you put God first, then you already have it all, for only God can satisfy our deepest longing in His way.
I have it all when I have God
