Topic: The Lord Is My Portion
Text: Psalm 119:57-64
57CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
58I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
59I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
60I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.
61The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.
62At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.
63I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
64The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.
Key Verse: “Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.” Psalms 119:57
Message
On the mountain, in the valley, on the land and in the Sea. On the mountain, in the valley, on the land and in the sea, Hallelujah. The Lord is my portion in the land of the living, the Lord is good forevermore. The Lord is my portion in the land of the living, the Lord is good forevermore. The Composer of this chorus probably have read Psalm 119:57. It is a confession of faith that he belongs to the Lord wholly. For us to be able to confidently confess that the Lord is our portion, our life must centre around God and His word.

If we desire to know God and His love, we must abide in His word, seek His favour and His grace with our whole heart, hasten to keep His word, pray often, associate with those who fear Him, look for His love, and pray to know and do His will. We cannot claim that God is our portion without abiding in His Word seeking first His kingdom and its righteousness. As we do these, other things necessary for life here on earth are given to us freely. Wisdom demands that you take Jesus as your portion, then you will become joint heirs with Him.

Prayer for today: Lord, grant me grace to take Jesus as my Portion forever.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
