"The
LORD is my portion," says
my soul, "Therefore I hope in Him!" – Lamentations 3.24
What is my lot in life? The lots fall out in all
kinds of ways. The lot of some is to be rich and powerful and famous. The lot
of others is to carry on one day at a time. The lot of some is to live
paycheque to paycheque. Sometimes our lot is joy and sometimes it is hardships.
What all is just part of life. That’s the way
life goes.
We however can live above all of that because the
Lord is our portion no matter what else happens. I may not have much in this
world. I may never have fame or fortune. My lot in this life may be to quietly
labour away in my little corner of the world doing what little God allows me to
do.
But.
But I still have the Lord as my lot in life and
because He is I will hope in Him. Others may have all kinds of things, but I know
that I have Christ and that gives me hope no matter what crosses my path or
comes my way. I can only be content when I realise that the Lord has said ‘I
will never leave you or forsake you.’ My eternity is secure in Him and having
Him as my lot in life it will be worth it all when I finally see Him.
