Strength of My Failing Heart

[S] Psalm 73:25-26 --
25 Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

[O] No one enjoys failing and when it comes to ones own flesh and heart, failure is to be avoided for certain.  However if it were to happen, would there be anything to hold onto?  The writer of this passage assuredly says God is the strength of his failing heart forever.  It's not an easy thing to say unless one really believes this from the bottom of one's heart.

[A] If things were to fail, would I be clinging onto God's strength?  I'd like to say yet but I will never know, so I need to do all I can to make sure that happens by anchoring my heart into God's hope and strength displayed throughout the Bible.

[P] Dear Father, You are indeed my strength and portion, but when the going gets rough will I still be confessing it?  I sure hope so and I sure hope I hide myself in Your amazing grace in order for me to recite the same thing this author wrote.  Please let Your grace permeate through my life now and forever.  In Your name.  Amen.
