God Is My Portion 

Psalm 16:5

Lord, You alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure.

The word “portion” is mostly used during our meal times, like when you wish to have a bigger portion of apple pie than your sister or bother. According to the dictionary, portion means a part of a whole or a person's destiny. Destiny means what happens to someone in the future. 

When David said that God is my portion, and He made his lot secure, it means He let God take the biggest portion of his life so that his future was secured. David let God be his source of hope to accomplish his goal for his future.

What is your goal for your future? Maybe your goal is to enter a medicine school, so you put more effort into doing your work and studying. Maybe your goal is to be a professional basketball player, so you spend extra time in training and practicing. 

Regardless of what your goal is, have you decided to let God have the biggest portion of your life? If you’ve done so, congratulations! Because your future is secured.

Prayer

Dear God, You are my portion and my hope. I can face tomorrow because You are the One who holds my future. Amen.
