Psalm 73:25, 26 - Christ Is Our All In All.
Psalm 73:25, 26 (NLT) Whom have I in heaven
but you? I desire you more than anything on
earth. 26 My health may fail, and my spirit may
grow weak, but God remains the strength of my
heart; he is mine forever.
COMMENTARY PEARL
Wholly for God
Alone with God - this is a lesson of the
deepest importance. May we seek grace from God to
reach its depths. Then we will learn that there is
another lesson of equally deep significance: wholly
for God.
As we find that it is not easy to
persevere in being alone with God, we begin to see
that it is because the other is lacking; we are
not "wholly for God." Because He is the only
God, He has a right to demand to have us wholly
for Himself. Without this surrender, He cannot
make His power known. We read in the Old
Testament that His servants Abraham, Moses, Elijah,
and David gave themselves wholly and
unreservedly to God, so that He could work out His plans
through them. It is only the fully surrendered heart
that can fully trust God for all He has
promised.
This world teaches us that if anyone
desires to do a great work, he must give himself
wholly to it. This principle is especially true of
the love of a mother for her child. She gives
herself wholly to the little one whom she loves. Is
it not reasonable that the great God of love
should have us wholly for Himself? And will we not
take the words wholly for God as the keynote for
our devotions every morning when we awaken? Just
as God gives Himself wholly to us, so does He
desire that we give ourselves wholly to Him.
In the inner chamber, let us meditate on
these things alone with God, and with earnest
desire ask Him by His almighty power to work in us
all that is pleasing in His sight.
Wholly for God - what a privilege! What
wonderful grace prepares us for it! Wholly for God -
separated from men, from work, and from all that might
draw us away - what great blessedness as the soul
learns what it means, and what God gives with it!
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind" (Matthew 22:3 7). "[They] sought
him with their whole desire; and he was found of
them" (2 Chronicles 15:15). "With my whole heart
have I sought thee" (Psalm 119:10). [Andrew
Murray 365-Day Devotional Bible by Barbour]
