True devotion

For a few days I have been disquiet. My soul was in turmoil within me. The glory of the Lord is not given to another. No one can satisfy like our God. Before I was a believer I knew that no one was able to soothe my sadness to bring peace to my soul. God gives me that everyday is not hunky dory. I worry, sadness come, and at times I seek the temporal things rather than God. Yet when He brings the Light of the world to shine in my life this causes me to stand.
Isaiah 42:1-9 NASB
"Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. [2] "He will not cry out or raise His voice, Nor make His voice heard in the street. [3] "A bruised reed He will not break And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice. [4] "He will not be disheartened or crushed Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law." [5] Thus says God the LORD, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread out the earth and its offspring, Who gives breath to the people on it And spirit to those who walk in it, [6] "I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness, I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You, And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the nations, [7] To open blind eyes, To bring out prisoners from the dungeon And those who dwell in darkness from the prison. [8] "I am the LORD, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images. [9] "Behold, the former things have come to pass, Now I declare new things; Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you."
This is my beloved.
