“You are my portion, O LORD; I have said that I would keep your words” Psalm 119:57

During the Vietnam war, my family had to portion out food to make ends meet. Mom often would say, let’s play a game and see who can find the most change in the house. She did this so we could buy bread and milk.  

So when I see verses like you are my portion, my mind returns to a time when we all shared to survive. The tribes of Isreal all shared in the promised land. However, the priestly tribe of Levi received no land as a portion of their inheritance because the Lord was their portion. We are all priests for the Lord, and He is our portion.  

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” 1 Peter 2:9

We never have to worry about not having our needs met; our inheritance will never be taken away. We can put all of our hope in Jesus and praise Him.
