How Precious is our God, my life is sustained through Him. He is my treasure, the one of unsurpassed value
My life is fed by His Spirit, it takes nourishment from His Word and draws from the deep well of His goodness
For I am without any real strength, my life hangs by a thread; even when I was in the fullness of youth, I had very little power, the control I thought I had was mistaken
But our God has always sustained me. He has blessed my life in the multitude of His mercies and given to me richly, things of real value
Truly, He is the one my heart treasures. He fills me to overflowing, and gives to each of my days blessed purpose
What could be greater than our God? Is there anything in all of creation superior to Him?
Indeed, there is nothing that could ever compare, nor, anything that could even come close. The sum of all riches and pleasure combined, have no value in comparison to Him
Therefore, I will open my heart wide and deep, and clear a place for Him throughout my entire life, so that He may fill me and live through me, activating my life for the purposes of His perfect will
Apart from God, I can do nothing
If I seek my own glory, I will fail
When I strike off in my own direction, I stray into dry and desolate places, where my soul starves and withers, bringing me to desperation
But with God, I am only filled with good things
He quenches my thirst and dispels every hunger. My life is made strong in Him; His love and Spirit bring abundant peace and joy
God is my treasure, the One whom my soul longs for each day. His presence is greater than all earthly blessing and His Words of truth, more valued than diamonds or gold
For He has given my life blessings of eternal abundance and a richness that will last well beyond the end of time. 4/26/2006
