God is Mine Forever

 Meditate. What is forever?

Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Those who desert him will perish, for you destroy those who abandon you. But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do. Psalm 73:25-28

Mount Rainier
The majesty of His creation.
Looking to the Heavens.

What a wonderful thought and truth—God is mine forever. Mine. He belongs to me. I belong to Him. Forever…and that is a long, long time. Eternity. With each day, I have more for which to praise our wonderful Lord.

I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your saving power, though I am not skilled with words. I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign LORD. I will tell everyone that you alone are just. O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do. Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me. Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God? You have allowed me to suffer much hardship, but you will restore me to life again and lift me up from the depths of the earth. Psalm 71:15-20

God is waiting in Heaven for us. Time may be growing short before the Lord returns—glorifies the believers and takes them away from earth. Read the focus scripture for today again. Those who desert God will perish. Be ready. Despite the hardships you may have had to endure, who can you tell today about our Lord God’s righteousness—the wonderful things He has done?

Prayer ~ God, You saved us and called us to live a holy life. You did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was Your plan from before the beginning of time—to show us Your grace through Christ Jesus. From 2 Timothy 1:9 

Verse of Salvation ~ But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O LORD, do not delay. Psalm 70:5 (Underlined for emphasis.)
