Psalm 73:26 (NIV) "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Today’s Scripture Lesson
There are moments when even the strongest among us feel weak. Our bodies grow tired, and our hearts grow weary. Psalm 73:26 acknowledges this human frailty but shifts the focus to a powerful truth: God is our eternal strength and portion.
When you feel like you're at the end of yourself, you are in the perfect place to lean fully on God. His strength is not just a supplement to yours—it replaces your weakness with His sufficiency.
"Portion" in this verse refers to inheritance or sustenance. God is enough. He is all we truly need, both in this life and for eternity. When everything else fades, He remains.
How to Apply This Scripture Passage to Your Life
- Acknowledge Your Limitations: Don’t be ashamed to admit when you’re weak. That’s when God shows up strong.
- Lean Into God’s Strength: Spend time in His presence and draw from His endless well of grace.
- Cling to What Lasts: Remember that God is your portion forever. Nothing can take Him from you.
