God is the strength of your heart.

Psalm 73:26

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heartand my portion forever.

Accepting our limitations leads us to recognize what God has done for us.

When we understand that everything comes from the Lord, we realize His care.

Recognizing our weakness does not justify sinning, but it should motivate us to seek God even more. When we do not acknowledge God’s power, we have the false impression that we conquer everything by our own strength. The reality is that everything we receive is the result of the Father’s grace.

The inheritance of salvation was given to us by the grace of God, and no effort could ever repay the price paid on the cross. Our strength is limited, but the strength that comes from God enables us to accomplish great things.

With God, we do more

• Acknowledge your own limitations, and respect yourself. Understand that all good things come from God.

• Seek strength in the Word of God. It is effective in refreshing our souls and strengthening our hearts.

• Do not feel weak; your strength comes from God. Draw near to the source, pray.

To pray:

Lord, You are my strength. When I feel weak, Your Word revives me. I am so grateful, for I know that Your hand has sustained me. Thank You so much, Father. Amen.
