3oth December

Christ is the strength of our heart

Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

"What Christian has not at times found himself ready to halt and faint by the way. Temptation seems to steal upon him like a charm. He finds his spiritual strength very low, his resolution weak and he feels as if he should give way to the slightest temptation. He finds himself empty, all weakness and trembling. Were it not that the strength of his heart interposes in time he would doubtless realise in his experience his worst fears.
But who that knows Christ has not often also experienced his faithfulness under such circumstances and felt an immortal awaking, reviving and stength taking posession of his whole being? Christ the stength of his heart develops his own almightiness within him. Christ has girded him to the battle and made strong the armso fo his hands with the strength of the mighty God of Jacob." (Finney)
