This email greeted me this morning as I turned on my computer. Each Monday a week's worth of verses and commentaries help me start my week. This verse reminds me so much of Haiti...the people of Haiti that Michael and the team interacted with showed such strength in the midst of HUGE adversity. My prayer for our friends in Haiti today is that God would be the strength of their hearts and their portion, when physical portions of food and water are scarce...
MONDAY
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 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
What can truly fulfill and sustain us? Maybe the best way to answer that question is by asking another: What can we keep when our bodies are placed silently in their graves at death? Only our relationship with God and his people last beyond the grave. If he is what lasts, then how can we displace him for anything that doesn't?
MY PRAYER...
Mighty Yahweh, Strength of Israel, Keeper of the Covenant and Fulfillment Maker of every prophecy--you are my hope, my strength, and my future. I live this day in wide-open amazement that the Keeper of the Universe knows my name, hears my voice, and cares for me. Thank you for being my past, my present, and my future, the Great I Am. Through my Savior, I pray. Amen.
