Consider your possessions, believer, and compare them with those of others. Some have their portion in the field; they're rich, with bountiful harvests. But what are harvests compared to your God, the God of harvests? What are full granaries compared to Him, the One who feeds you with heavenly bread? Some find their wealth in the city, with riches flowing like a stream until they overflow with gold. But what is gold compared to your God?
You couldn't survive on it; your spiritual life can't be sustained by it. Could it calm a troubled conscience or ease a heavy heart? Could it stop a single tear or lighten a single grief? But with God, you have more than gold or riches could ever buy.
Some treasure applause and fame above all else, but isn't your God more to you than that? Even if praises were shouted from every corner, would that prepare you for crossing into eternity or facing judgment? No, there are sorrows that wealth can't soothe, and there's a deep need at the hour of death that riches can't meet. But with God as your portion, you have more than everything else combined.
In Him, every need is met, in life and in death. With God as your portion, you're truly rich. He'll meet your needs, comfort your heart, ease your grief, guide your steps, walk with you through dark valleys, and welcome you home to enjoy Him forever. "I've enough," said Esau; this is the most a worldly man can claim, but Jacob says, "I've all things," a truth too profound for worldly minds.
Closing Prayer
God, as this day closes, help us to trust You completely, even when the way isn't clear. In Jesus' name, Amen.
