Today's Bible Verse

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

In 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.

Today's Prayer

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.

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel.:

Yesterday's Bible study

In today's verse, the Apostle Paul writes to the church in Colossae. He reminds them of the hope that they have in Heaven, which they learned about when they heard the Gospel. Today, we'll consider how the Gospel brings us hope, wherever we are in life.

Why does the Gospel bring you hope? For me, I'm reminded that I don't need to have my whole life figured out, that the Lord is trustworthy, and that I am loved for reasons that will never change. These truths comfort and assure me that even when things get difficult, the Lord is always with me. There is nothing I can face or experience that will take Him away from me. Regardless of what happens, my hope in Jesus will never let me down. All of these are reasons to find hope in the Gospel today.

Paul assured the Colossians of hope laid up for them in Heaven, and the same is true for us today. We know that God will be in Heaven; that there will be no sin, pain, or suffering; and that it will last for all eternity. Heaven is a place of eternal peace, an active place where people work for the glory of God; a place without the contamination of all the sin in today's world. When you feel yourself becoming discouraged about the world, sin, or suffering, try to remember the promises of God that tell us a better day is coming.

Having hope for better days also gives us strength to carry on right now. We do not have to wait until Heaven to enjoy its pleasures; we can take advantage of the hope it gives us today! When we are discouraged, for instance, we can remember God. When we are tired, or sick, or afraid, we can turn to God. We can think about the future we are promised and live each day in anticipatory hope of the many good things to come for those who love the Lord.

Yesterday's Prayer

Dear Lord, I am so grateful for the hope that is laid up for me in Heaven. Thank you for all of the great promises that bring me comfort and security in you above all else. Thank you for the truth of the Gospel, which fills me with hope and assurance of your great love for me. In Jesus' name, amen.
