Our portion

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.~Psalm 73:25-26

When I read this verse the first question that comes to my mind is who or what am I putting before God?  Is He my only desire?  Do my actions line up with the thought process that sole purpose is to seek God and His will?  

I then think about the grace of God because no matter what He is with me.  When I have no one else.  No one who might understand what is going on within the chambers of my heart, I have God.  He is my constant.

When I fall flat on my face, He is the one who lifts me.  When I can’t take another step, He is the one that carries me.  He is my strength and my portion. He is my hope. 

Father, I am amazed at your love for me.  Thank You for being my strength and my portion.  Help me to seek You first and to put nothing before You.  Touch my heart Lord.  In Jesus name. Amen
