My Refuge

Psalm 16
1 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”

With my stubborn independence also comes a lack of looking to God for answers. He is the only place I can go when troubles/challenges arise. The psalmist says, "I have no good apart from you," how true is that in everything I do.

"I have no victory apart from you."
"I have no growth apart from you."
"I have no accomplishments apart from you."
"I have no peace apart from you."
"I have no love apart from you."

It's all about making God my security, and nothing else. And realize that everything I can claim or do on my own behalf is truly because of Him.
