Psalm 73:28 It Is Good For Me to Draw Near to God

Psalm 73:28 (KJV)  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. 

Spending time in communion with God is precious, valuable, well-utilized time. The psalmist took an entire psalm to explain how God has been His guide when he came to Him – Psalm 73:24 (KJV)  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 

He testified in all his trials that he kept close to the Lord – Psalm 73:23 (KJV)  Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 

The full realization of our need for Him dawned upon him – Psalm 73:25-26 (KJV)  Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 

This is what it means to be partakers of divine nature. It enables us to escape the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4). Faith and the testimony of faith is a wondrous testimony to behold indeed. Amen.
