 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE For FRIDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2023.

Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE

TOPIC:  THE LORD IS MY PORTION, SAITH MY SOUL

MEMORIZE: “The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.” Lamentation 2:24.

SCRIPTURE READING: Lamentation 2:24-26

“The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” 

EXPOSITION:

Jeremiah made a strong confession about God in the midst of his trouble that God is his portion. God is, and ever will be, the all sufficient happiness of his people, those who have chosen him and depend upon him to be such (La 3:24). Who is your portion? Who do you run to in the days of trouble? Who do you praise when you are happy or celebrating success? As for me, The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; that is, 

1.  "When I have lost all I have in the world, liberty, and livelihood, and almost life itself, yet I have not lost my interest in God." Portions on earth are perishing things, but God is portion forever. 

2.  "While I have an interest in God, therein I have enough; I have that which is sufficient to counterbalance all my troubles and make up all my losses." Whatever we are robbed of, our portion is safe.

3.  "This is that which I depend upon and rest satisfied with: Therefore will I hope in him. I will stay myself upon him, and encourage myself in him, when all other supports and encouragements fail me." 

Note, It is our duty to make God the portion of our souls, and then to make use of him as our portion and to take the comfort of it in the midst of our lamentations. 

PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, I declare You to be my portion now and always in Jesus name.
