What can sustain us?

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. — Psalm 73:25-26

What can truly fulfill and sustain us? Maybe the best way to answer that question is by asking another: What can we keep when our bodies are placed silently in their graves at death? Only our relationship with God and his people lasts beyond the grave. If he is what lasts, then how can we displace him for anything that doesn't?

Let’s us Boast and Praise our God.

In God we make our boast  all day long, and we will praise your name forever.

- Psalm 44:8

Psalmist David is making this statement saying that, we make our boast all day long. He is mentioning about boasting about God. What’s the reason. Firstly why he wanted to boast about God and not only that not for five minutes, or for some time he is mentioning in the above verse as whole day.

It’s so clear that his relationship with his Father, his closeness, knowing his Father’s nature, his love, his forgiveness. 

As everyone knows that, God had forgiven David from one of his deadly sin, i.e. adultery with Bathsheba. No doubt, David went on confessing his sins and asking for God’s forgiveness. He was totally repented and from his broken heart, he asked Father’s forgives – thus God had forgiven him. Not only that, ultimately he became one of the very close person to God.

This verse not only telling us boasting about whole day long, but also mentioning about Praising. David is mentioning here that I will be praising Him forever.

Well, one who gone through the steps of David will be realizing that, after receiving forgiveness, love and lifting him up from miry clay – he realized it’s worth to praise God not only for the limited time but forever.

Friends, today many of us or everyone of us one has called Father has forgiven and taken care in every circumstances. Can we compare our lives with David today.  Like David after receiving an unending blessings from our Lord, once the circumstances are over, we have gone far away from our Lord.

But as we learnt from this verse which David has mentioned, let’s get back to our spiritual sense, and realize like David we too must boast only in Him and Praise Him all over or Forever.
