Whom have I in heaven but you?
(Psalm 73:25-26 NIV)
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
The psalmist laments over the prosperity of the wicked: they have no struggles (Ps. 73:4), speak with malice (v.8), and amass wealth (v.12). Despite this apparent “success,” the psalmist wants no part of it, knowing that God is all he has—and all he needs.
ACTION: Don’t look at the “success” of others around you. Instead, turn to God and look to Him, your strength and your portion forever.
