No Good Apart from You

I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”

Psalm 16:2

I have no good apart from You.

Not food.

Not the family home.

Not past relationships.

Not romance.

Not vacations or getaways.

Not a perfect home.

Not a perfect marriage.

Not comfort.

Not entertainment.

The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed I have a beautiful inheritance.

Psalm 16: 6

I have tried to find my “good” in food, in the past, in romance, in escape, in my home, in my marriage, in comfort and entertainment.

But those only ultimately disappoint. I know I will only be satisfied when all the “good” that I seek , I seek in the Lord. So why do I strive to find good in everything but Him?
