August 9th - God, our strength and portion

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 (NKJV)

Thought for Today: Perhaps today you feel that you and the world around you are passing by at a frightening pace.  Your body ages; things change.  Yet, note that the psalmist makes mention of heart and flesh failing but then states that God is the strength of his heart.  While we can't control the passing of time, the aging of bodies, the heartache of loss, we can control where we place our trust and who we choose to be the shepherd of our hearts.  Trust in God and He will indeed be your strength and portion forever.
