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.
Psalm 73:25-28 (ESV)Stability comes to those who have a single desire to walk with God in this life. We will find that all else fails us. Our health, our wealth, our friends, our family, our mind, and more will all fail us at some point. The rock, the fortress, and the stability are God alone. If I am ever to experience true significance and security, I must know what God has said and abide in it as truth.
The continual wandering of my heart from idea to idea or from one thing to another to satisfy should be evidence enough that the things of this earth, apart from God, bring futility.
