PORTION

Psalm 73:25-26

O God, You are my Portion forever! You give abundantly; You satisfy completely. Nothing on this earth compares to You. Your words to my heart are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. O God, keep me close to You. Continue to fill me with Your power and Your promises. Let me not withhold anything from You, calling it "mine." I give You my weakness; I give You my sadness; I give You myself. O God, my Father, how You graciously take these from me as an offering! And instead of my shame I will have a double portion ... and everlasting joy will be mine! I praise You; I thank You; I lift my hands high! How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! I take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. I drink my fill of the abundance of Your house. And You give me to drink of the river of Your delights. For with Thee is the fountain of life. Yes, my heart sings, "You are my portion forever!"
