“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:24 (ESV)
The writings in the book of Lamentations were most likely by the prophet Jeremiah. He wrote them during the dark days after the City of Jerusalem had been conquered by the Babylonians who left the city in ruins. Those were long sad days for the writer. With so much around him all destroyed the writer knew that he still had the Lord with him. This truth was a great comfort to him and he was determined to always trust the Lord. We need to be reminded that no matter what happens around us we still have the Lord. When we read that He is our portion it means that He belongs to us just as anything does that might have come to us during a distribution of items. Yes the Lord is ours no matter what happens. We have the promise that He will never leave us and will never desert us no matter what happens. Trust that promise today and every day.
