Verse Reflections: My flesh will fail. There will be days I fail to eat God foods. There will be days that I decide to eat just because I want to. There will be times I think I need to eat to spite the system. There will days I eat to quiet my anxiety. My heart will want to honor God and then I will not. I will be sad in my heart because I miss someone I love. I will be stressed because of something that happens. I will react to that sadness or stress and I will overindulge in foods that give me temporary happiness. However this verse reminds me that God is the only strength I need. God will give me the strength my heart needs to overcome emotions. I must start my day each day with God and then and only then will I have the strength in my heart that will allow me to eat to honor Him. I love the part of this verse that refers to God as our “portion”. I must remember this every time I want second helpings. God is the only division, the only amount that I need to indulge in. The only extra portions that I should partake of.
Prayer: Father, bless me when my flesh and heart fail. I am weak. Without You I cannot be strong. Remind me that YOU are the strength of my heart. You are the only source of strength that I need. I need you at the center of my life. Only by starting my day with You, by inserting You into my heart can I have the strength I require to be Your servant. I must spend time with You, I must open my heart to let You in. I must know that You give me strength, the only strength I need. You have called me to rise above my flesh and my heart. You have called me to eat healthy foods to Honor You. You have told me that You will live in my heart and be the strength that I need. Today, and every day I call upon this strength. You will be my portion. I will have a second portion of You today and honor You by having only one portion of the foods I eat. Thank You for giving me the strength I need in my heart. YOU are my master and my strength.
