Nothing I Desire Compares With You
“Lord, You are more precious than silver. Lord, You are more costly than gold. Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds. And nothing I desire compares with You.”
“Nothing I desire compares with You.” Think about that. As humans, we get so bogged down with life on earth: what we like, what we don’t like, what we want, etc. As I look around at my “things,” I concede that nothing I have or desire compares with my Lord. If this was all taken from me, I would still have Him, and He would be enough. Humanly, I hope I never lose my belongings in a fire or flood but sometimes it’s worth thinking about. What if I did experience loss? Could I honestly sing, “I’d rather have Jesus than ANYTHING this world affords today”? I need to train my heart to say, “Yes, Lord. You truly are all I NEED. I may have other wishes or desires but NOTHING I desire compares with You. Thank You, Father, for reminding me of this truth.”
