5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
God is just really good. With all the things that have been happening to me, and around me,He never fails to reassure me that I need not worry because no matter what happens, He holds my world in His hands.
Last Sunday, I got to lead worship at church again. When Yash told me the night before, I immediately started thinking about what my line-up would be. Immediately the song Healer came to mind, I’m not really sure why. We’ve never really sung it at church yet, although not really because of the whole scandal involving its composer. I guess it just wasn’t time yet. But last Sunday, God really moved in such a powerful way.
He reminded all of us that in the old days, among the 12 tribes of Israel, the Levites were not given any portion because as God said “I am your Portion”. Grabe noh?! What security! What an assurance! To know that God is our portion! While we were singing the lyrics, it was like we were all making a declaration that despite all the difficulties that we were facing or that we might face, God is our portion and we will never lack. And the best thing was that we weren’t just declaring it over our finances, true, most were probably claiming it as a promise over their finances, but it was more than that. We were declaring it over our families, our jobs, our businesses, our spiritual lives. We declared healing over relationships, and even on our country.
Before singing I shared the above verse to the congregation. This was the verse that God gave me at the beginning of the year. And I’m claiming it everyday. I will not be shaken by what I see or hear or feel, because He’s with me. I will not worry about what tomorrow may bring, because all I know about tomorrow is that He’s got me in His hands =).
