I just came back from a wonderful week at Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu, New Mexico where I went with a group from church. One of the morning devotions centered on “portion” and what that means in Scripture. It got me to thinking how if God is my portion and in some mysterious way I (and all believers) are God’s portion, then a good prayer to begin each day is “Lord, help me to live well in the portion you have today given me.” It is also a good concept to teach children as it helps them learn to live within their incomes with gratitude starting early in life. If God is my portion, then I don’t need to fear about my needs (not necessarily my wants) being met.
