What Psalm 73:26 Means
Psalm 73:26
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”Psalm 73:26 (KJV)
What Psalm 73:26 means
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. The psalmist is honest that his own strength runs out, and then he finds something underneath the failing: God himself as the strength that does not fail. When everything you leaned on gives way, God remains, and he is enough.
