Our Portion in Life

Psalm 16:6 "The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance."

What lot has God dealt you in life? Do you accept the portion you are given and say that it is sufficient? Or simply adequate? Do you shake your fist at God and ask "Why am I not given more?"

When you look at your family, your relationships, your home, your bank account, your possessions and your job, do you delight in the abundance of provisions you have? Or do you see a lack, an absence, an unsatisfactory sufficiency? What if we are all widows with only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar? Cannot God cause what we have to stretch, multiply and fulfill all our needs? Do we declare His provisions contemptible, or do we train our eyes to see the rich, gracious and ample nature of all that we have in Christ?
