“The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.” - Lamentations 3v24
I love this little phrase from Lamentations because it says so much and if grasped properly it is the key to contentment. “The Lord is my portion,” that is my share, my piece of the pie, my inheritance, my partaking, my allotment. That being the case I an say the rest of the verse – therefore I will hope in Him. In reality, if I truly see Him as my portion, there is nothing else I need.
I am reminded of the song that says “Jesus Christ is all I need.” He is indeed my portion, He is all I need, I can put all my hope in Him. When I can do that I have learned the blessed lesson of contentment.
