Here is a Word for you from the Lord...

That's how Derek Prince emails start that arrive weekly in my inbox. And I always half catch my breath at what my Lord has to say to me personally. It's always Scripture, His love letter to me. The one I'll share today is from October. It begins, "Psalm 73:26- My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and portion forever." This was special to me because last fall, my flesh, my body was physically failing and I didn't know why. I have begun to get some answers from my nutritionist, but very often I am still reminded how delicate health can be. I can't count on it to be there tomorrow, no matter how diligently I try to care for it. But I don't have to worry. I CAN count on God to be my strength. (Love that song I'm Counting On God!) Derek goes on to say, "You see, there's a difference between the internal and the external. The external is fading, it's temporary; but there's something inside us that's eternal, that's from God...doesn't fade or wither. Paul says, 'Our outward man perishes, but our inward man is renewed day by day.'
