PORTION

When we think of attributes of God, Him as our PORTION is not one that immediately comes to mind. But, it is an incredible part of who God Is.

When the Promised Land was divided up among the Israelites, the Levites were excluded from receiving an allotment of the land. Why? Numbers 8:20 tell us – The LORD told Aaron, “You will not have an inheritance in their land; there will be no portion among them for you. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

The Levites were designated as the Lord’s priests and servants in the Temple. Instead of land, their inheritance was the LORD Himself. He was their portion. What could be better than that?

Kristine Brown’s article on www.crosswalk.com addresses God as our Portion much more than I ever could. I encourage you to take time to read her article.

Last week, I experienced a similar event to Kristine’s when I had to suddenly undergo an arteriogram. Thankfully, my ordeal did not require surgery, and I received a clean report. But it was a reminder to me that when all else falls away or fails, God is and always will be my PORTION.

The Holman Dictionary describes the Lord as our Portion as follows: To have a portion in the Lord is to share the right of joining the community in worship of God.

Won’t you join me in worshiping and praising God this week as our PORTION?
