Strength

Psalm 73:26                                                                   Strength

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (NIV).

 

Mountains suggest strength in any picture, and the suggestion is certainly important, but the strength of mountains compared to the strength of God is minimal.  Mountains may last for many thousands of years, but God is from eternity past to eternity future.  The verse above says, “…God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”  Thank God that I do not need to depend upon my strength alone.  If I have the strength of God, and I do, then I can experience victory through any difficulty satan may throw at me.  And how long can I count on God’s strength?  I can count on His strength and support “forever.”

In the Word of God given through Isaiah 41:10, we are told, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”  The God of creation, Almighty God Jehovah, gets personal; “I am with you…I am your God.  I will strengthen you…I will uphold you….”  What more assurance do I need?  Thank you, Lord, for providing me with all the strength I will ever need.
