Good Morning! Just watched the gorgeous sunrise at the ABBA Helps Kids Ranch n Mountain Grove and reminded again of Lamentations 3:22-26
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Hallelujah! What a g.eat reminder as we start our time of fasting and praying. As we quiet down and wait for the Lord. So we declare...The Lord is my portion therefore I will wait for him.
We know portion to mean part of something divided. Hebrew talks about their portion as their inheritance of Gods promise to Abraham and Jacob. When Jesus came, the inheritance was passed on to the non-Jews as well.
Ephesians 3:6 This mystery is1 that the Gentiles are xfellow heirs, ymembers of the same body, and zpartakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
The portion or inheritance is now given to all believers, both Jews and Gentiles. Thank youo Lord! Faithlife explained it this way
The inheritance includes the kingdom of God with all its blessings (Matthew 25:34), both presently and in the future (Romans 8:17–23; 1 Corinthians 15:50; Hebrews 11:23; 1 Peter 1:3–4). It is wholly the gift of God’s sovereign grace. “Our sufficiency is from God” (2 Corinthians 3:5, ESV). The Son of God says, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). In other words, God is our portion.
When a biblical writer says, “God is my portion,” he means that God is the source of his happiness and blessing. He is content with all that the Lord is and provides. He has the best inheritance imaginable and does not seek any possession or comfort outside of God. Riches, honor, friends and fame—nothing is as valuable as the promises of God. “My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (Psalm 73:26, NASB). If God is our portion, we need nothing else.
Amen!
