THE HEART

Psalm 73:25-26
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.

This is really my prayer to God. I desire God more than anything on earth. I know that God has always guided me through tough and good times. Many times I have failed, my spirit grows weak at times, my health fails, I get too busy and I fail to spend time with God in a day. Yet, God remains the strength of my heart. He still takes me by the hand (v. 23) and guides me through all the situations that happen in my life. Sometimes we know that at the end of the day, whether we had a rough day or a good day, God remains the strength of our heart. When times when we feel that we are just crushed or "defeated", we know that God remains the strength of our hearts. Why heart? Maybe because when our heart is weak, its energy "distributes" throughout the entire body. (Just like when someone gets a heart attack, it destroys the entire body) Therefore, when our heart is healthy, everything else functions properly. So, put your heart right on foundation. Let God be the strength of our hearts.

Where's my heart at right now? My heart is to only desire Christ. May nothing or no one ever take God's place in my heart. If anything is stealing my heart away from God, I know I'll get weak because the foundation is not strong enough to stand the test of time. How can I stay strong? I will continue rely on God in all that I do that involves my heart. Always seeking out what God wants me to do and to become.

God, I love you so much. You are the one I am living for. Help me not to forget this; that You are my only strength. Guard my heart that I may not swerve it to the right or left, but rather to keep it going to Your direction. I only want to obey You and I want to follow you all the days of my life. Thank you Jesus, Amen!
