Psalm 73:25-26
English Standard Version (ESV)
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Here in (Psalm 73:25-26), we get a glimpse of a worshipful and adoring heart. This passage paints a picture for us, so that we can see what it looks like to be in love with Christ. These words are often easy to say and sing, especially in popular worship music, but are often brought forth in vain. Even though we may even feel like we mean it when they pass from our lips, but scripture tells us, that our lives would reflect them if this was really the condition of our heart (1 John 3:18). The words of this sacred text reflect genuine adoration, REAL love. Real love can only come when manipulation stops. Truth be told, most of our relationships have came to, or are born out of, hopes to manipulate God. Wishes to make him a God that we are comfortable with. But when we do that, we are really worshiping ourselves not the God of the universe. Real love is only evident wen we care more about that which we love, than ourselves. Anything less than that is infatuation and/or lust, which ultimately is rebellion from our Creator.
