Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 22 Jan 2008

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Many choose the path that is wide, safe, and the shortest route. Only a few will choose the long, narrow, and treacherous. You see, to be called a son or daughter of God is priceless, yet many don’t value this. Sometimes it seems that there are so many expectations to be called a Christian. People are watching us, judging us, and to walk this narrow life is simply too hard. Today’s word of encouragement is to forget the titles, forget the high standards, and forget the mocking. Imagine what King David’s relationship with God must have been like. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart…” To say that I’m weak, I make mistakes, I’m a sinner, and I am nothing… but in You Lord, YOU ARE MY STRENGTH OF MY HEART AND MY PORTION FOREVER. Today know that your identity is in Christ and no one else. And if you know this you would be able to say this with confidence, “Judge me, mock me, put me down, yes I’m a failure, yes you are better than me, but so what!!! Because Father you are my strength of my heart and my portion forever.” © Jan 2008 Shaun Lee
