My Lent scripture reading for today is:
"My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." -Psalm 73:26
Oh, what a beautiful passage. This is one that can speak to our hearts in so many ways. There is encouragement in the knowledge that if and when our bodies fail us, He is our strength. If you have lived it, you know it is true. Yet, my favorite part of this verse in this reading is "my portion forever." He is my enough.
The year I focused on "enough" as my one little word went by too swiftly. In a land of abundance, we can lose sight of the blessing and goodness in "enough." Enough to eat. Enough to wear. Enough to share. Enough to keep warm or cool down. Enough clean water. So many of those things are unknown to much of the world.
In our deepest disappointments and hardest struggles, we find ourselves pausing, praying, and seeking His face. He was, is, and will forever be our enough... our portion forever.
Today, I am grateful for my portion forever.
