5 Lord, you are my portion[a]
and my cup of blessing;
you hold my future. (Psalm 16:5 CSB)

Have you ever considered asking, “What is my portion?”

We do not typically like to think of life in the terms of a portion. The world tells us that our portion is never ending. We are driven to more and more and more.

We may believe that we are owed more than we have or that having gained enough we want more. This is a never ending cycle of want.

But when we turn our mind toward need and toward balancing our portion with others, suddenly we see life differently.

We begin to view it as God meant and to, more often than not, see that our cup is pretty full. Add to this knowing that God holds our future no matter what and we find we need far less.
