My
Health May Fail, And My Spirit May Grow Weak,
But
God Remains The Strength Of My Heart;
He
Is Mine Forever.
Scripture
Psalm
73
26 My health
may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.
28 But as
for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
Observation
I
have definitely moved into the 4th
quarter of this game called life and probably very close to the two-minute warning.
Every
day something new hurts or something new wants to quit working like
it is supposed to.
I
remember a good friend telling me, “If we only knew what was
actually going on inside of our bodies we would be shocked!” So
true! I am glad that I don't know!
Maybe
you are dealing with some aches and pains today. Maybe some things
have quit working like they are supposed to. Maybe you are living
with a life-threatening disease and it is taking its toll on your
body. If that is the case, just remember that all of us will be where
you are one day. Our bodies are all wearing out!
The
important questions for us are these: Are we near to God? Is God the
strength of our heart? Do we desire Him more than anything else on
earth? If our answer to all of those questions is yes, then we are
going to be just fine … in spite of all of our aches and pains!
Application
So
I declare and I totally agree with what the Psalmist declares in
Psalm 73:25-28 when he says,
“Whom
have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the
strength of my heart; he is mine forever. Those who desert him will
perish, for you destroy those who abandon you. But as for me, how
good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.”
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You are the Mighty God. Nothing is too hard for You. You know
what is going on inside of me. You even know how many hairs I still
have left on my balding head. My health may fail, and my spirit may
grow weak, but You remain the strength of my heart; You are mine
forever. I desire You more than anything on earth. You are my
shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do!
