"The Strength of My Heart"

 

“The Strength of My Heart”

 

Whom have I in Heaven but You?  And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.  My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the Strength of my heart and my portion forever.            Psalm 73:25-26

 

The Psalmist who penned this psalm, realizes that their RELATIONSHIP with God is the MOST IMPORTANT thing that they POSSESS.  They ponder on the question of WHOM do they have in HEAVEN but GOD, their desire is for GOD, and a FIRM RELATIONSHIP with Him. 

 

They go on to say that even though their FLESH and HEART may FAIL, because of their RELATIONSHIP with God, they have a STRONG and STEADFAST HOPE in Him, and is assured that GOD is SUFFICIENT for them, when EVERYTHING ELSE is INSUFFICIENT.  They have the ASSURANCE that, even though they may FAIL PHYSICALLY and EMOTIONALLY, they still belong to God, and He is in CONTROL.  He will GUIDE them with His COUNSEL and LEAD them to a GLORIOUS DESTINY.  Is this the kind of RELATIONSHIP you have with God?  Is He the STRENGTH of YOUR HEART?  Do you DESIRE Him MORE than ANYTHING on earth? 

 

Is He leading you to a GLORIOUS DESTINY, an ETERNITY in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS, or is He having to CONDEMN you to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there?  If you have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him, you will have an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, but if you have NO RELATIONSHIP with Him, you will have an ETERNITY in HELL. 

 

In order to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God, you MUST give Him your HEART and LIFE, and be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and TURN TO HIM. And allow Him to be the STRENGTH of YOUR HEART.  To do that, you MUST ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of a SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and POSSESS a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him. And LET Him be the STRENGTH of YOUR HEART.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
