"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 crippled. 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 ended 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, Marion Anderson, Enrico Caruso was from a large, poor Italian family where only a few children survived past infancy. Itzhak Perlman, concert violinist, was paralyzed from the waist down at age four. In the eyes of his father and family, biblical David wasn't considered worthy to be Israel's because of his violation of Bathsheba. Yet God referred to him as "a man after my own heart" (Ac 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" (Ps 73:26, 28 NKJV). The word for you today is: with God's help, you'll succeed.
