"The words "but God" appear more than 40 times throughout Scripture. Almost every time you read the words, it is in reference to a desperate situation that, without God, would be impossible to face.
Psalm 73 was written by a man named Asaph. He was one of three people that King David commissioned to lead worship in the tabernacle. Asaph and his descendants were intentional about worshiping God. He taught and ministered with his sons and others, who did the same down the line for generations.
In this Scripture, the psalmist writes that our flesh and heart will fail. There's no doubt about it--at some point we will fail. But he doesn't end there. He goes on to say that God is the strength of our hearts and everything we need forever.

At times, we feel weak and unable to stand, but God is always there to give us His supernatural strength. It is impossible to please God on our own without His power. Our very best is nothing without His grace in our lives.
It is important for us to get back up when we fall and not allow the enemy to defeat us. We are defeated when we allow our mistakes and sins to overwhelm us until we give up. Even if we are disappointed in ourselves, God can give us the strength to keep going. Our willingness to move forward in our faith will encourage others when they face times of failure. We can have peace that no matter what, God will never give up on us.
