Whom have I in heaven but you? 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.
This is a tough verse. The psalmist lays it all out before God and forsakes all earthly pleasures for Him.
But what about that new HDTV we desire? Is it wrong to want to watch your movies in the ultimate home cftheatre experience? Is it wrong to want to ride in style with a new car with wonderful smell of new leather?
Is it wrong to want to go on that wonderful cruise?
Thousand of years before the death of Christ this psalmist understood the New Testament. He understood that his flesh is not capable of such devotion to the Father but understood that God can give our hearts the strength to glorify Him even at the cost of forsaking earthly things.
