21 When my heart was grieved
and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless and ignorant;
I was a brute beast before you.
23 Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever. Psalm 73:21-26
I have recently seen a number of people who have passed away, and it made me reflect on my close friends and family who have passed on. I reflected on how I reacted when these individuals passed, and I know that I grieved terribly. In fact, I still grieve at times and ask a lot of questions. I have found in the past few years that the only thing that fills that hole is our Father in Heaven. There are so many things that we deal with on a daily basis that can be challenging and frustrating, but I always have to remind myself that God is the answer. You would think that it would be easy to remember this, but the enemy is lurking around trying to make you think that you need to consistently feel bad or grieve for whatever is missing or lost in your life. We need to remember that there is nothing in this world that we should desire other than our Father. As long as we continually set our eyes on the Lord, our grieving will be limited and we can count on His presence in our life.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
