MY EVERYTHING
Psalm 16:2
I say to the Lord, You are my Lord; I have no good beside or beyond You.
When we look at our life critically, we can tell the things or people that matter to us. It is most times the things or people that meet a particular need or serve a particular purpose to us.
It is a good mental exercise to sit back and reflect on what role most of our aquitances play in our lives. It could help us estimate how much time we spend with, or on them, and if we need to move away from, or draw closer.
We who have believed know that God is the only one who can take the place of "my everything". We shouldn't place anyone or anything above Him. Every good teacher should point everyone to God and not to themselves, a sect or a denomination. The central focus ought to be God.
Jesus who was very God, pointed to this fact:
Matthew 19:16-17
Now behold, one came and said to Him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
The focus is God, and Jesus is the way, that is why He continued by saying:
Matthew 19:21
Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
John 10:30
"I and My Father are one."
The question is, "is God our everything?"
At the point of salvation, yes many can claim this, but as life continues, other things begin to compete for God's position.
All would fail, others will disappoint only God would not, He is the one who call things out of nothing
Romans 4:17b
even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
Nothing passes His sight, He knows about all things.
Hebrews 4:13
And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
He is the one who supplies all our needs.
Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
He is our healer
Acts 9:34
And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed." Then he arose immediately.
He is the one who gives us all things to enjoy.
1Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
As we gather with others to worship today, let us remember Him who should be "our everything", Let us give Him His place in our lives.
God bless you.
