The Almighty God of the Bible is the author of all beauty, truth, and good in the universe; the Artist behind every form and magnificent display of grandeur; the omniscient Mind from which materials and laws of physics derive being; the Heart from which all conceptions of love flow. Persons who desire beauty, truth, and goodness can find no greater source than Him who is the infinite fountain of these ideal characteristics.
Why
do we seek from others what may be found in the Lord? David sang, "Whom
have I in heaven, but Thee O Lord? And there is none upon the earth that I
desire beside Thee." [Psa. 73:25] This same King, in a worse frame of heart, desired
another man's wife. He tried to find heaven in earthly things, and found hell in his heart for it.
God, for 2011, I request a greater desire for Your pleasure and honor, upon myself and the Church at large.
