So, I finally finished! That is soooo crazy! I can’t even believe it. I have to be a grown up now! Ah! Its one of those things in life that you never really think will ever happen like when you were 14 thinking that the world would end before you’d ever get to drive a car! But, the world did not end, and I’m a college graduate. I have so very much to be thankful for.
Me and the family at Graduation!
Yesterday while I was spending some time with the Lord, I was reading in Psalms. Psalms 74 to be exact. It was great, but something in the end struck a chord in me. Its the very last verse, verse 28. The verse reads: ”
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.” It is good to be near God. At the end of the day, its simple. It is
Good to be
NEAR God. Its true. When we are the closest to God we find that everything makes sense, and life is good. It is satisfying. I guess with the next stage of my life quickly approaching, I want that to be my theme. I can say so many things, but its refreshing when your spiritual life is just simple. I want to say for myself that it is just good to be near to my Father. My redeemer. Thats it. To know it is good:)
You have to be grown up now? Say it ain’t so! Fight it! Don’t let go of your childhood! (I haven’t, and I plan on acting like a kid when I’m 80.)
“It is good to be near God.”
‘Tis a simple point, but it’s most often the simple points that are the most profound. I’m pretty sure I could write the same thing in ten times as many words, but I don’t think it would put the point across the same way. I will have to remember this during my busy days. Thank you very much for sharing.
God bless ya!
Congrats on graduation!!! WOO HOO!!!
You made it. Congratulations!
It is good to be near God. My prayer is that you will stay near to Him the rest of life’s journey that He has planned for you.
