My Portion

Is Jesus enough for me? Is HE my portion?

Psalm 142:5 says: "I cry to you, O Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."

The New Living Translation says it like this: "Then I pray to you, O Lord. I say, "You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life"

I have been searching my heart and asking myself that question, "Is he really what I want in life?" Or do I really want to be safe and healthy and secure and blessed? Is He my ticket to those things? Do I come before Him and try to do enough so that He'll do what I ask Him to do? Do I come before Him to beg Him to fix things or give me things? Or do I want HIM? Is He really enough for me?

Chris Tomlin sings:

All of You is more than enough for all of me, for every thirst and every need.
You satisfy me with Your love and all I have in You is more than enough

Is His love satisfying me? Is all I have in Him more than enough for me?

I'm praying for Him to fill me so full of Himself that He really is enough for me...all that I need...all that I long for and run after.....then my heart won't be troubled by what is happening to me or around me. My hope will be fully set on Him. My faith will not be shaken.

Take me there, Lord.
