his presence is my good

Psalm 73:25-28 (JDV)

Psalm 73:25 Who do I have in the sky but you? And I desire nothing on the land but you.
Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion permanently.
Psalm 73:27 Those far from you will certainly be destroyed; you silence all who are unfaithful to you.
Psalm 73:28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good. I have made the Lord Yahveh my refuge, so I can tell about all you do.

his presence is my good

Last May, I travelled after morning worship to an ordination service — one which I had been asked to give the welcome and invocation. The Lord led me focus on his presence — a presence we can feel when we encounter people who are committed to him.

Asaph knew this. He said that God’s presence was his good.

Lord overwhelm us with your presence this day, and may we all come to the place where we can see your presence as our good.
