You Can’t Lose Heart if the Lord is the Strength of Your Heart

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my heart and my Portion forever.” Although our hearts and bodies may fail, God is the Rock and strength of our hearts. Our position should be to make sure we are firmly connected to the Vine. Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches (John 15:5). Our life sustenance comes from the Vine which is connected to the trunk and roots of the tree, which in the spiritual sense is Father God. To lose heart, is a familiar term when it comes to staying the course. We get tired and sometimes really low from physical exhaustion. In those times we can be tempted to give up. Being properly connected to the Vine keeps us spiritually nurtured. Our faith is the cord or spiritual bluetooth that joins us to the source of all power. We draw our strength and stamina to continue the race from the Vine. Since we are the branches we should be bearing fruit. The fruit is our witness to people about God, and leading people to the Lord, etc. We are ambassadors for Christ carrying the message of hope to the world. And we need times of refreshing and recharging in the Lord. He gives us everything we need that pertains to life and Godliness (2 Peter 1:3). He is the Rock of our salvation and the hope of glory to this world. We carry around in these earthen vessels the answer to the world’s problems. But the world will never know if we don’t go out and tell them. You can’t lose heart if the Lord is the strength of your heart.
