The Strength of My Heart
This year has certainly been unlike any other. It started out like a normal year, but three months in, things started to unravel. Just turn on the news or scroll through social media to see how messed up matters are in this world right now. Negative news. Events cancelled. The list goes on. All of this can make the lows in our personal lives seem even worse.
Recently there’s been a few lows in our lives personally including the passing of a good friend and also of a former coworker of mine. We know others recently who have also had to say good-bye to loved ones. A few other disappointments and stresses can bring one down—or make them go lower.
Several verses from Psalm 73 were read at our friend’s funeral. It is a passage that I am familiar with but have forgotten about. These two verses in particular seemed to jump off the page at me. I so needed this reminder. My heart may fail or be low, life may be discouraging. But God is the strength of my heart. He is the one I should be focused on and He is the source of true happiness and peace needed to get through the days that are not so good. He is the strength of my heart.
