Today's Bible VerseMy flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Add to FavoritesIn this Psalm, we have a reminder that God is the strength of our hearts forever. Even when our flesh and hearts fail, the Lord sustains us. Today, we will talk about what it means for the Lord to be our strength and how to rest in Him even when we are facing difficult times.
God will give us strength even when we are weak. We do not have to be strong in flesh and heart; they can be failing us completely, but God will sustain us. Even when we are unable to be strong, God is mighty within us. We can always turn to the Lord, confident that He is the source of unfailing strength in every situation.
What does it mean for the Lord to be the strength of our hearts? In this verse the word "hearts" refers to our spirits, which guide us to remain in the Lord even when we are weary or upset. Our spirits help us keep going even when we are suffering. When the Lord is our strength, He is helping us remain firm in Him and continue honoring Him, even when we are discouraged.
When we realize that we don't have to look to ourselves for strength, but instead to God Himself, we can experience what it means for God to give us strength. We will open up the channel for God to move in our own hearts, and we will experience a miracle in ourselves, strengthened by the Lord.
If you feel weary from the world or from whatever you are facing, ask the Lord to make this verse real for you. Ask Him to give you strength and to fill you up with truths and confidence in Him. He will sustain you through the battle. All we need to do is come to Him, even if we are devoid of strength, and ask Him to intervene in our hearts and lives.
Dear Lord, thank you for being the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Thank you for sustaining me in all times, for loving me relentlessly, and caring for me better than I know how to care for myself. Thank you for your goodness. In Jesus' name, amen.
If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world.

The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.
