Many people are proud of their possessions, and boast of their wealth; yet their
possessions are very limited, and their wealth has wings and may at any time
flee away!
A Christian may not be proud but he has great reason to be thankful.
He can look over the whole earth, and say, "My wealth exceeds all this!"
He can look up and gaze on the starry heavens and say, "My property exceeds this vast expanse!"
He may try to conceive of the greatness and glory of the created universe, and then say, "I claim more than all this!"
Looking up to the author, owner, and disposer of all worlds he can say, "You are my portion, O Lord!"
