I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing.”
Psalm 16:2
Many of us have had times in our lives where we found ourselves without money, without friends, without work or even perhaps without a home and assurance of a next meal. These can be significant challenges; I speak from personal experience. Yet, in these times our Lord provides us with so much more clarity. Being apart from all of these things can allow us to see the only "good" thing. Each of these others are necessities of life here on earth, but what makes them good is our knowledge of where they come from and then how best to use them.
Use your gifts and blessings to glorify our Lord this day, so that through Him, they are made "good", for tomorrow you may be parted from all but the Lord. There is only one internally "good" gift and it is eternal.
Many Blessings.
Craig
