Earth Has Nothing

On a day I was supposed to read Psalm 76 for the Bible study I am teaching, I inadvertently read Psalm 73 instead.

Now I know why.

Psalm 73:25b stopped me: And earth has nothing I desire besides You.

Man. Earth has nothing.

That’ll probably be a sermon series one day.

In the meantime, it helps me realize . . .

  • Earth has nothing compared to God’s promises.
  • Earth has nothing compared to what awaits me in life after life.
  • Earth has nothing that will keep me content over the long haul.
  • Earth has nothing that can satisfy my deepest longings.
  • Earth has nothing that will ultimately make me feel at home.
  • Earth has nothing because heaven has everything.
