This is Follow Jesus Radio, encouraging you to have faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him daily. The title of this devotional thought is: Jesus Is Our Portion.
Let's listen to God's Word in Psalm 16:5 (KJV):
"The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot."
What a comforting truth! David didn't find his greatest joy in possessions or circumstances. His greatest treasure was the Lord Himself. The same is true for us. Because of Jesus Christ, we have received something far greater than anything this world can offer—we have Jesus Himself.
Jesus is our portion. Through His death on the cross and His resurrection, He has given us the forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and an inheritance that will never fade away. No earthly possession can compare to knowing Him.
David also says that the Lord is "the portion...of my cup." Every day, Jesus is our cup of blessing. As we spend time in His Word, enjoy His presence, and follow His teachings, our hearts are filled with His peace, joy, and grace. There is no greater blessing than walking with Him.
Finally, David says, "Thou maintainest my lot." What a wonderful reminder that Jesus is our sovereign Lord. He lovingly watches over every part of our lives. Nothing is outside His care. He knows what we need, He orders our steps, and He faithfully works all things according to His perfect will.
So today, let your heart rest in Jesus. He is your portion, your cup of blessing, and your faithful Savior. If you have Him, you have everything you truly need.
Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus.
That's it for this podcast. Remember, Jesus loves you and is just a prayer away.
