A Good Declaration!

 I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”
Psalms 16:2 (HCSB)

Isn't that a great statement?  David's declaration is a complete devotion to God alone.  That is the kind of dedication and commitment we should have to our Master.  But do we really?

David was a man after God's own heart so certainly he never turned away his complete devotion from the Lord to other things.  David never sinned and broke fellowship with God, did he?  Yes we know he did and yet God still saw him as a man after God's own heart.

Well what about us?  We too find ourselves forsaking our commitment to Christ.  Rather than completely devoted and following Christ we sometimes find ourselves chasing after other things.  We find ourselves deep in sin.  But God is good, gracious and merciful.  What a great God we serve.  What a great God to give our complete devotion too.
