Deuteronomy 30:19-20 - "... I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days..."
He is your life.
Every blessing is found in God Himself.
Every blessing is given by Him.
Every good thing that I would seek after, if sought apart from God, will not be enjoyed to its fullest; for He gives good things, not that we might revel in the things themselves, but that we might revel in the Giver.
Yes, He "sends rain on the just and on the unjust", and showers many blessings on those who care nothing for Him. But these will be witnesses against them in the last day, that though they received so many good things from the God of Heaven, they neither glorified Him for them, nor were thankful. (Matt.5:45. Rom.1:21).
What is it your heart longs for?
Only God can truly be "your life". That which utterly satisfies the human soul.
Every longing, every dream, pursued apart from the Source of all good things, will only disappoint us in the end.
Seek first the God who made you - for He made you for Himself.
Nothing else is able to fill His place in you.
If you have Him - only will then every blessing be truly enjoyed as He meant it to be.
He is your life.
