Day 159, June 8, Psalm 72 & 73

click here for today's reading

Extremely tired tonight, my dog died this morning and it's just been a long day but these words are so precious when everything is going crazy around us:


 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.


And here's Don Moen putting these truths to music

  1. Psalm 72
    18-20 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things. Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen! The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.

    BOOK III: Psalms 73-89
    Psalm 73
    1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

    16-17 But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their end.

    Whose measuring stick are we measuring with, Lord?

    23-28 Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you. But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.
