[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.

Bull's Eye Promises
[S] Joshua 21:45 --
45 Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.
[O] This statement coming from Joshua has a special emphasis for me because he was the one who fearfully started to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan to conquer that land according to the promise came from God. Not only that his clinching on to the promise started 40 years prior and still going strong and then some. His saying of God's delivering on all of his promises is a true and genuine testimony coming from a man after God's own heart. Can I give such a confident testimony about how none of God's promises failed in my household?
[A] Simplifying to the irreducible minimum, my daily life should be about knowing what God's promise for me is and then claiming it to see it come true every time; and compilation of these will become my life's testimony which when I pass from this world will display my aim in life.
[P] Dear Father, may You seal in me the same spirit that drove Joshua to conquer the land that You promised for him to rule over (not without challenges) so my life will fight the challenges ahead and yet claim the lost grounds for You and Your people. In Jesus' name. Amen.
