Psalm 73:25-28

What the psalmist is saying is that when we get down to the nitty-gritty details of life, to the finer things, there is nobody that is important but God. That relationship has to be protected at all times. It has to be worked on. It has to be built. It has to grow. It's not because God is weak, but because of God's purpose everything depends upon that relationship. Everything depends upon whether God is satisfied.

It is the ultimate that we trust and please Him because all the issues of whether we are dead in our sins or whether we are alive to righteousness and eternal life revolve around and are focused on this relationship. The Bible takes sin and death very seriously.
