--Apart From You, I Have Nothing~~

-"You are my Lord;
apart from you
I have no good
thing."--(Psalm 16:2) -- roseinbloom

---David expresses in Psalm 16, when the longings in our hearts threaten to send us on a desperate, futile quest for satisfaction (V.4), we can remember to turn to God for refuge (V.1), reminding ourselves that apart from Him we have nothing (V.2).

And as our eyes stop looking for satisfaction "out there" to gaze instead on God's beauty (v.8), we find ourselves finally tasting true contentment--a life of basking in the "joy [of God's] presence," walking with Him each moment in the "way of life" --now and forever (V.11/ NLT).

"Lord G-D, forgive me for thinking I can find what I need apart from You.
Thank You for always being there even when I forget to look for You.
Draw me to Your side to live in the joy of walking with You. Thank You
Lord, my Rock and Redeemer." --"Till I Met You" / Laura Story ~ -<https://youtu.be/6T5cRCyQaf4>
