Psalm 143:6 (NIV)
6 I spread out my hands to you; I thirst for you
like a parched land
Not long ago I visited the dean of a great American
university. We looked out the window of his office and watched hundreds of
students walking to their classes. I asked the dean, “What is the greatest
problem at this university?” He thought a moment and answered, “Emptiness.” So
many people today are bored, lonely, searching for something. You can see it in
their faces.
One girl home from college told her wealthy father, “Father,
I want something but I don’t know what it is.” That’s true of many people; we
want something to meet the deepest problems of our lives, but we haven’t found
it. David said, “I have found it. I shall not want.” The Apostle Paul expressed
it, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.”
You don’t have to give up on life, to throw up your hands
and cry, “It’s no use.” . . . You can have God’s peace, God’s joy, God’s
happiness, God’s security; and yours can become the most thrilling life in the
world.
Thought for today:
Can I define my best?
