Verse from Psalm

除你以外，在天上，我还有谁呢？除你以外，在地上，我也无所爱慕。(诗篇 73:25)

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. (Psalm 73:25)

Even when we know God, we are often distracted by the prosperity of others. C. S. Lewis wrote, “It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. . . . We are far too easily pleased” with lesser things than Him.

What do we learn about God in this psalm that might help when our desires distract us from God’s best? Well, we see that even though we may be tempted to envy what others have, He is continually guiding us and bringing us back to focus on Him.

Lord, we do believe that You are the place where true satisfaction is found. 

But we’re weak and sinful

and easily distracted from Your best. Teach us to draw near to You, and may You, in turn, draw near to us.
