It's not "The Lord is partly my portion" or "The Lord is in my portion," but He Himself is the full inheritance of my soul. Everything we have or desire is found in Him. The Lord is my portion, not just His grace, love, or covenant, but God Himself.

He has chosen us for His portion, and we've chosen Him for ours. The Lord must first choose our inheritance before we choose it ourselves. If we're truly called by His electing love, we can sing with joy, "Loved by my God, I burn with love for Him. Chosen by Him before time began, I choose Him in return." The Lord is our all-sufficient portion. God completes Himself; if He is all-sufficient for Himself, He must be all-sufficient for us. It's hard to satisfy human desires.

When we think we're content, we quickly realize there's more to want, and our hearts cry out, "Give, give." Yet everything we desire is found in our divine portion, so we ask, "Whom have I in heaven but You? And there's no one on earth I desire besides You." We can delight in the Lord, who lets us drink from the river of His pleasures. Our faith soars like an eagle into the heavens of divine love, its true home. "The lines have fallen to us in pleasant places; we have a good heritage." Let's rejoice in the Lord always, showing the world we're a joyful and blessed people, so they say, "We'll go with you, for we've heard God is with you."
