Time. It's getting away from me.
I've already been working on these verses, which fall into the category of "Lord, make it so" verses. Kind of like the "instructed tongue" from last month -- I'm not there, but hoping to get there. Anyone know what I mean?
Anyway, here are the verses I'm working on:
"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."
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 73:24-25
I'm not sure what exactly drew me to this passage at this time - except a tug to focus on God and God alone. Not His will, not what He can do for me or my family, not even what I can do for Him. I want to seek HIM.
My flesh and my heart my fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. I love how The Message puts this part: "When my skin sags and my bones get brittle, God is rock-firm and faithful." Yep. Good stuff.
I'm a word girl, and the word "portion" intrigues me. The dictionary defines it as a part of a whole; a piece of something. But the Biblical use has a deeper meaning. The Levites - the tribe set aside as priests and temple servants of the God Most High - were not given territory like the other tribes. The Lord was their "portion." They were to rely on Him and He was enough.
Lord, make it so in my life.
(I love the worship song that includes this verse...you can hear it here.)

I may have to use this verse next time. Really like it. I've been thinking of looking up more verses with "portion" in them...haven't gotten around to it yet.
Here's my verse: 1John 1:5 NIV This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
This is a great verse to memorize. :) I love you and am so encouraged by your faithfulness to write the word of God on your heart. :) Thanks for keeping me updated via the blogger world. I love you, Mrs. Leslie!
