"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73: 26
As I resolve each morning to be the Mom of my dreams and the Wife I want to be for my husband; my flesh (my human nature) fails. You see, I have God's awesome and perfect word to guide me, to inspire me, to give me hope, but I am broken and will certainly fall short. BUT, I have a Savior who wants to be my portion, to be my everything above all else. What does this really mean......it means that with all loss, all failures, all discouragement and even all victories, to just let God be enough!!!
In a "super sized" world is God ever really enough? Why isn't our Almighty alone enough? Could your love for Him, and your trust in Him, and your devotion to Him be your portion in times of turmoil and even in times of prosperity? Loss of finances, Loss of a loved one, World calamities all have the potential of taking our eyes off Jesus just when we should be Praising and Seeking His Will and above all trusting that He alone is ENOUGH! There is no better offering to our Lord than the surrender of our Will and placing our complete trust in His plan.
"I will praise you in the storm"....Loving and honoring our God regardless of our circumstances is proof He is all you will ever need. Don't allow the smallest of distractions nor the largest of challenges to consume you and become the largest portion on your plate. The larger you make Jesus in your life, the less significant our lives will become. In a "me" world this seems ridiculous I'm sure; but in God's kingdom, eternal salvation through relationship with Jesus Christ is all that matters! Our world wants to minimize Jesus Christ...imagine the change individually and globally if we Maximized our need for Him?
Allow God to be the strength of your Heart!!! God's blessings to you all. To God be the Glory!
