The Example, Old as Creation

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. This Bible verse is a call to spiritual stamina. Paul encourages us to stand firm—not in our own ability, but in faith. Sometimes strength looks like acknowledging your weaknesses, seeking help, seeking wise counsel, and taking small, but faithful, steps forward.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Our strength is a infinite resource. Our heart and flesh will fail us time and time again. This verse is a reminder that God is your strength. The word “portion” can also be translated as share, inheritance, or allotment. God’s promised presence is our inheritance, and in Him we have all we need.
