The Magnificence Of Christ In The PsalmsIsampula
My Portion
Dear Father, I am very grateful that in Jesus, the fullness of the Godhead dwells, and that He is my all-sufficient Portion. I marvel at all He is, and at how much He loves and cares for me! He is the all in all for the whole world, and certainly He is my all in all too. My thoughts quickly return to Psalm 23:1 where King David testifies: “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” I rejoice that praying today’s Scripture helps me live in my blessed Portion. I promise to obey Jesus’ words; I desire to seek His face with all my heart; I need His grace according to His promise; I give thanks for His righteous laws; I am a friend to all who fear Him and follow His precepts; I rejoice that the earth is filled with His love; and, I eagerly want Him to teach me His decrees.
I also state my longing to be totally dependent upon Jesus like David’s music director, Asaph, expressed to You in Psalm 73:26, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” I forsake dependence upon all other people and resources, so that I may rely only on Jesus. In His preeminent name I pray these things.

Each daily devotional has a different name or attribute of God from the Psalms that is ultimately fulfilled in Christ. You will read the Psalm with Christ's name in it, then worship Him and pray for His Lordship of your life based upon His name of the day. Hopefully, this will help you know Christ more and love Him more. All Scripture used is from the NIV Bible.
