June 26 "Draw Near to God Always" Psalms 70-73

"Only God is Good to Israel"
To those who are in covenant with Him.
Psalm 73:1

But as for me. The sinner.
A brute beast.
I deal with things like jealousy.
Flesh & Hearts fail. 
In theory: every day. 
In conclusion: "God is the Strength of my heart. 

The Nearness of God is my Good."
Psa 73:28
It is good for me to draw near to God.
"This positive is superlative." Charles Spurgeon. 
Good means best in this Hebrew word. 
It is best for me with all that encircles my day, my life,
To draw near to God.
Not just today.
But all my days.
And for all those things that I don't understand today,
Let me just believe in You.

So, I start this 1 of 10,000 moments.
Today.
When I hear bad news.
When I feel jealous of others.
When my steady steps slip from under.
I will believe when things deflate, people berate.
The word "draw" means more than one time. A lifetime.
Of Drawing Near to God.

DEAR GOD, PLEASE CHANGE ME THAT I DRAW NEAR TO YOU FOR THE REST OF MY 10,000 MOMENTS THIS YEAR instead of default thinking to the 4 corners of my world in flight.
