'The LORD Is My Portion'
CGG Weekly by John ReissIn the midst of despair and destruction, as seen in the desolation of cities like Jerusalem, there is a profound realization of God as our portion. Through the LORD's mercies, we are not consumed, for His compassions fail not and are new every morning; great is His faithfulness. As the soul declares, 'The LORD is my portion,' there is a foundation for hope in Him. This portion signifies an award or inheritance, a source of confident, enduring expectation. Even in overwhelming disaster, it is recognized that things could have been worse, but God has been merciful, sparing some and calling them to wait patiently in hope for Him to work out their salvation. The faithful God Himself sustains and provides hope for good, enduring forever as our portion. Unlike the fleeting nature of worldly hopes, placing hope in the living God ensures it will always be there for us, promising a future and a hope as affirmed by His thoughts of peace toward His people.
