"But for me..."

"But for me..." - three little words seemed to jump out at me as I read Psalm 73. The Psalmist had just spoken about the wicked and about how God would deal with them. Then comes the words, "Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire beside you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." What a treasure in the middle of gloom! Focus on Him, not on the wicked or the troubles about you. God will put an end to those who are far from Him and who are unfaithful to Him; "But for me, it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works." There is a determination to stay close to God. God is my strength, God is my refuge. "I have decided to follow Jesus." But for me... I want to be near God. I want to be continually with Him. I want to tell others about Him. How about you?
