TOPIC: With God’s help, you’ll succeed
My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.’
Psalm 73:26 NKJV
Some of the world’s greatest achievers went through life with physical disabilities and overcame incredible adversities. Sir Walter Scott was disabled. John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim’s Progress, was imprisoned. George Washington, America’s first president, almost froze and starved to death in the snows of Valley Forge. Abraham Lincoln played a critical part in ending the scourge of slavery in America, yet he was raised in abject poverty and died prematurely from an assassin’s bullet.
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli was subject to bitter religious prejudice. Franklin D. Roosevelt was struck down with infantile paralysis. Ludwig van Beethoven became deaf. Glen Cunningham, an Olympic runner holding many world records, had his legs badly burned in a school fire. Booker T. Washington, Harriet Tubman, Marian Anderson, and George Washington Carver were born into a society filled with racial discrimination. Enrico Caruso was from a large, poor Italian family where only a few children survived past infancy. Itzhak Perlman, concert violinist, lost the function of his legs at age four.
In the eyes of his father and family, biblical David wasn’t considered worthy to be Israel’s next king in the place of Saul. Moralists and legalists would surely have disqualified him because of his violation of Bathsheba. Yet God referred to him as ‘a man after my own heart’ (Acts 13:22 NIV). And here’s what David said about God: ‘My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever…I have put my trust in the Lord God’ (vv. 26, 28 NKJV). The word for today is: with God’s help, you’ll succeed.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 2 Chronicles 23-24, Acts 26
