No Other Good

Psalm 16 is a rich vein.  Out of that vein we are going to attempt in the next couple of days to mine a couple of nuggets.  Take a few minutes now and read through Psalm 16.  You might want to take note of those verses that really grab your attention.  Do it now, I’ll wait…

In just about every verse there is some gold.  But for our purposes let’s start in verse 2.  David says he has no other good besides God.  Wow.  I do not know about you but when I read that I understand why God called David a man after God’s own heart.  When I look at my life and heart compared to David’s I am pretty sure that I cannot say that I have no other good apart from God.  There are many other things I desire or consider good.

The reality is that He is my only good.  All that I have is from Him.  It is my shortcoming that I do not immediately recognize that truth.
