I said to the Lord, “You are my Master! Every good thing I have comes from you.” The godly people in the land are my true heroes! … Lord, you alone are my inheritance, my cup of blessing.” Psalm 16:2-5
Lord Jesus, in keeping with David’s explosive blast of thanksgiving, we say “Yea, verily, and hallelujah!” When it comes to your glory and grace, hyperbole and exaggeration do not exist. For you are our Master and Redeemer, Creator and Re-Creator, Bridegroom and Inheritance.
Jesus, you are the fountain of lasting pleasures, the wellspring of eternal joy, the headspring from which all blessings flow. You love lavishly and redeem completely. In this very end-of-May moment, you are joyfully at work making all things new, beautiful, and un-sad.
Compared to you, all other riches are fool’s gold, Ponzi schemes, and swamp land in Florida. Any other inheritance besides you is mere “chump change.”
Jesus, the “excellency of knowing you” has re-valued everything. (Phil.3:8). Life is now you and death has become our gain (Phil.1:21). Boasting in weakness is our freedom and posing is slavery. Humility is the way up, pride is the way down, and serving is true greatness (2Cor12:8-10; Phil.2:1-11).
Jesus, you are our quintessential, eternal Hero, Righteous, and Everything. Our “cup of blessing” is a bottomless tankard of mercy, grace, and love. We are heart-palpitating grateful, and want to spend the rest of our years delighting in you and loving to your glory. A Big-Time, So Very Amen.
