Everywhere we look there's something that is trying to steal our devotion and attention. Whether good or bad there's so many things that if we aren't careful, can rob us of our hunger and passion to know the Lord. Everything in this world will always be temporary. Even the love we have for other people isn't eternal. The only place we'll ever be truly satisfied is in the presence of the Lord. The presence of the lord is where we find hope, vision for our lives, healing, love, restoration from past hurts, and honor in the eyes of Jesus.
In Psalm ch 62 vs 1 David says " My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him." Later on in verses 7&8 David continues to say " My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, mighty refuge. Trust in Him at all times, Oh people pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge." David not only said our honor depends on God, but he went as far as to say our salvation depends on God! Then he urges the people to pour out their hearts to God.
I believe God's love for the world is very much eternal and so is His salvation, but I also believe that we can be so hardened to God sometimes that without even knowing it we can walk away from Him. No one is perfect and the great part about that is that God knows it. He knows that we fail and we fall sometimes in our walk with Him, but the most important thing to remember is that when we get back up, it brings honor to the Lord. So don't be discouraged in your faith. Just make the effort every day that you live and in the way that you live, to lift Jesus up and make Him the center of everything.
