Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.Whom do I have in heaven? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you.Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

… because your love is better than life i'll praise you look at this next one same guy look at psalm 73 whom have i in heaven but you and on earth it has nothing i desire beside you my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Whom have I in heaven and on earth? And I'll tell you on earth, there's none that I've desired above you, God. Because if I've got Jesus plus nothing equals everything. If I've got you, God, I am good. So I'm telling you right now, you got to remember God's faithfulness. You got to cook into your life some gratitude. You've got to get back to the place where it's just Jesus, I'm good. Come on, clap if that's your prayer. Here's the last one. Write down the last one. You've got to worship with no strings attached. We live in this culture that's all transaction. If I scratch your back, you scratch my back. If it's tick, then it's tack. If I do something good for you, you're going to do something good for me. I give my tithe because I want more. No, I give my tithe because I'm blessed. And you got to stop your worship. Don't pray and fast because I'm going to get this and I'm going to get there. No, I pray and fast not to get God on my agenda. I'm praying and fasting to get my life on God's agenda. …
… Afterwards, you'll receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever. For behold, those who are far from you shall perish. You put an end to everyone who's unfaithful to you. But for me, it's good to be near God. I've made the Lord God my refuge, that I may tell of all your works. He just calms down again and goes, oh God, I almost blew it. You know what? What do I want in heaven but you? There's nothing on earth I desire besides you. He goes, God, I'm sorry. I was envious. I almost fell. Man, I knew you were good, but I almost blew it, and I'm back in that right place again. Or I go, oh yeah, there's nothing I want. It's just enough to be with you. As my question is, is that enough for you? Are you enjoying these times with Him? Because my concern is, I feel like we've created a generation that's so dependent on all this other stuff in order to worship? …
… family contentment is God Himself. The psalmist said in Psalm 73 verses 25 and 26, Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. And then remember the scripture we read in 1 Timothy chapter 6 and verse 6. Godliness with contentment is great gain. I was reading about Ernest Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway was a brilliant man. A great, great writer. A literary genius. He had fame, he had notoriety, he had money, he had everything at his fingertips that many people are striving after. And he wrote some words and then committed suicide. You know what he wrote? He said this about life. He said, life is just a dirty trick. A short journey from nothingness to nothingness. Pow. Isn't it a shame he didn't know Jesus? Isn't it a shame? You see, the first thing is the family faith. Faith for the family. …
… I'm telling you, the first secret of family contentment is God himself. The psalmist said in Psalm 73, verses 25 and 26, Whom have I in heaven but thee?
