“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 and my portion forever” (Ps. 73:25–26).

It is grace and grace alone that can make this kind of peaceful living possible for each of us. Won’t you reach out today for that grace? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Tripp. Crossway Daily Devotional. July 2025
