The tyranny of the good…

Today in Men’s Bible Study (a great group of guys who meet weekly Tuesday mornings at 7 at Steak and Eggs. All are welcome.) we were talking about what it means to glorify God and how that works itself out in our daily walks.

We read Psalm 63 and wrestled with the longing David had and the satisfaction he had in God alone. I am reminded that I am far too easily satisfied with things that may be good, in and of themselves, but which take the place in my heart that should be reserved for God alone. There are so many things that I enjoy doing that if I pursue those then there is too little time for God and family. The good becomes the enemy of that which is best and becomes wrong for me.

We need the resolve of David when he said – one thing have I asked of the Lord and that will I seek after – to dwell in the courts of my God my whole life long.

God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him!
