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 must 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 the 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!" What a privilege! A portion and such a portion. God Himself in all His greatness, and in all His goodness. God with all He is, and all He has is my portion!
What kind of a portion is this? It is immense, for it comprehends all. All the attributes of the Divine nature are for us. All the perfections of God's character are on our side. All the productions of the divine power are for our good. Therefore the apostle says, "All things are yours!" Nothing good is withheld from us!
[James Smith]
Psalm 119:57 … Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words.
