“Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.” (Psalm 84:5 KJV)

There’s something powerful in that little word blessed. The psalmist is reminding us that real strength doesn’t come from our bank account, our health, or even our willpower—it comes from the Lord. When life feels heavy, and the road ahead looks long, that’s when we find out what we’ve really been leaning on. If our strength is in ourselves, we’ll run out quick. But if our strength is in God, we’ll find a reservoir that never runs dry.

And notice the second part: “in whose heart are the ways of them.” That means the journey itself is written on the inside. You don’t just know the path—you carry it in your heart. Even in valleys, even in deserts, the blessed man keeps moving forward because his map is internal, guided by God.

So today, if you’re weary, lift your eyes. Your blessing isn’t in how strong you feel—it’s in who your strength comes from. Put your heart back on His path, and you’ll discover that no matter where the road winds, His strength will carry you through.
