GOD IS OUR PORTION

4^TH ,MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 1-2

TEXT: Psalm 16:1-11

1 Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.

2 O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

3 As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.

5 O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.

6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

7 I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

8 I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.

10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

KEY VERSE: Psalm 16:5

“The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Trust God and get paid handsomely.

THE MESSAGE:

Moses rehearsed this truth to ]the hearing of Israel in the wilderness that “the LORD’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance” (Deuteronomy 32:9). Every Israelite was meant to know and appreciate the fact that all he or she needs in life is concealed in their ‘treasure chest’, which is Jehovah, their God. None was to seek any help or wealth outside this commonwealth of Israel.

The priests were to have no agricultural land in Israel and they were not to engage in any other profession or occupation, or any other servile work, but concentrate in the service of the Lord in the tabernacle. By this ordinance, the Levites were to be sustained from the tithes of the agricultural produce gathered from other farming tribes. Few people were to be fed and maintained by a large population of faithful worshipers of God.

The principle still operates today but in a modified form. All believers in Christ, who trust that the Lord is capable of providing all their needs according to His riches in glory, actually have their needs met by the Lord. Whereas, those who doubt God’s word and engage in clandestine vocations and activities, those who join the crowd of unbelievers in their questionable practices, often pay a high price.

Like Achan and other sons of Belial in the Bible, they will soon face summary judgment if they do not abandon their evil ways. We should know that only the just shall live by faith while those who draw back, do so to their own peril.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
