Peace, purpose, protection — they are part of what I “get” for following Jesus.
Abundant life, eternal life — they are another portion of my inheritance for being a child of God.
Joy, forgiveness, purity, holiness, heaven — still more portions!
Yet there’s a portion missing.
What more could I possibly need or want?
“The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot” (Psalm 16:5).
Oh to follow Jesus for His own sake!
“Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words” (Psalm 119:57).
“The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him” (Lamentations 3:24).
I never thought much about the Lord being our portion before. What exactly does this mean?
BTW, I told a friend who just started a similar blog about yours. His is at http://joyinyourpresence.blogspot.com.
