Wrinkled Brows: A Monday series on quotations or word definitions of interest (perhaps only to me.)
Portion: an individual's part or share of something; a share received by gift or inheritance; one's share of good and evil.
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup. (Psalm 16:5 NIV)
When skies are blue and days are bright - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When nights are long and sleep is a wistful hope - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When budgets are tight and bills are large - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When generous gifts and inheritance comes my way - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I stepped onto stages and sang to hundreds - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I sing quietly, alone, with only You to listen - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I had a strong position and much authority - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I was weak and no one listened, but You - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I am in great need, and do not see a way forward - Lord, you have assigned me my portion ...
When I have sound assurance that You will meet my every need - Lord, you have assigned me my portion. Selah - So be it.

"...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation ..." Colossians 4: 11-12 (NIV)
Hope your portion today is a good one. Until next time ...Marsha
Thank you... I have tried to always be content, but your putting into a daily context is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteThat was sooooo good.
ReplyDeleteYes, we all do have "our portion".
Loved this post.
Beautiful thoughts, Marsha! Thanks for sharing them. I have been through a turbulent few years since our move to the southwest. I think I am learning from all these changes to be thankful for my portion.
