My Heart

 "My flesh and my heart may fail,
   but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Psalm 73:26

I have found myself taking great comfort from this scripture lately. 

Why? 

- because I am sinful and battle with sin continually.. my flesh fails

- things don't go the way I want or expect them to.. my heart fails

- I cannot seem to keep up with all the stuff that needs to get done.. my flesh fails 

- I see the struggle others have with this world and sin.. my heart fails 

But.. 

God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever! 

So I..

- continue to wage war against my sin.. because God is my strength!

- continue to pursue righteousness by waiting on the Lord.. because God is my portion forever! 

- continue to run the race God has set before me.. because God is my strength! 

- continue to encourage, exhort, and pray for others.. because 

God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever!
