God is My Portion

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” – Lamentations 3: 24

Emotional struggles are common in this life for everyone. In fact, the bible tells us that our brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings and encourges us to stand strong in our faith, resist the enemy and God in His perfect timing will Himself restore us and make us strong, firm and steadfast.

But how do we do that when those emotions are so overwhelming? We do that by remembering that the Lord is our portion and just like the manna in the Old Testament, He will rain down exactly what we need, when we need it, no more – no less.

Every day God is the perfect portion of everything we need, every longing we have, every desperate desire our souls cry out for. God will be our portion. Ask yourself, What do I want? What do I need?

Are you experiencing rejection and loneliness? God will give you healing, companionship and unconditional love.

Are you struggling with your significance or wondering if you matter? God gives you value, worth, purpose and identity.

Are you battling emotions like hurt, anger, unforgiveness, and lack of patience? God will give you the strength to overcome, to forgive, and to offer patience and grace, even when these things are not given to you by others.

Nothing in this world can ever fill us like God’s portion. Nothing else is unfailing and absolute. For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. (Psalm 107:9)

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.
 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.” – Lamentations 3:22-24
