Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 73:26-28.
Verse 28, "But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works."
The closer we get to the LORD, the more we will trust Him. The more we trust the LORD, the more we will speak about Him to others. This is something Asaph learned when he visited the house of God. He was given more understanding and an eternal perspective.
There is a big difference from what the world says we should seek to draw near to and what the Word of God says. I really like this rather lengthy quote from Charles Spurgeon, "“It may seem good in the worldling’s eyes to go his way to his wine cups, and to make merry in the dance; it may seem good to yonder truster in an arm of flesh, to seek out his friends and his kinsmen, and entrust his case to their discretion; it may seem good to the desponding to retire in melancholy to brood over his sorrows, and to the dissipated, to endeavor to drown all care in vanity, but to me, says the psalmist, it is good, preeminently good, that I should draw near unto God.” James 4:8, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded."
Our daily walk with God is not only for our benefit, but also for those whom we have influence over. There are plenty more mighty works of God that need to be declared.
Have a wonderful day!
