One of my favorite songs to sing is Nothing I hold on to by Will Reagan. I can’t even count how many times I’ve sung this song and think, Yes God, I put you first in my life. Then I continue to sing, “I give it all to you God.”
But what does this really mean? In Psalm 73, David is honest and true with God and says, Lord I have so many times in my life put worldly matters in my life before you God. At the same time, I’m thinking that’s completely true. I get jealous when people succeed in school and I struggle to make ends meet. I get frustrated thinking how do wicked people get everything they want and have zero struggles while I’m a daughter in the Lord and I continue to struggle.
When I am in this place, I feel like I lose my desire of how I want to be with only Jesus. David continues to go on and say in the Psalm, that in the end, when we are before God, I see the fate of the people who long for worldly desires and I’m so glad I didn’t give into that. So how much more important do I think my relationship with God is over my own desires?
Now that God has called me out on seeing so many other things in my life that I want more than Him, am I ready to give everything up? Am I at a place in my life that is so INTIMATE WITH THE LORD that I am willing to say to God, there’s nothing in this world that can satisfy me, I give everything up, take my life and put me where you need me Lord because I AM ALL IN.
