Father in heaven, we love the encouragement of this verse, because You are our portion. You are the one who fills the void in our hearts and souls. You are good, kind, compassionate, just and forgiving. We trust in the eternal hope of Your salvation. We commit our lives this side of heaven and into eternity to You. We love You, for You have never forgotten Your promises and covenants. You are a solid foundation. We praise You in the name and authority of Jesus, according to Your good and perfect will. Amen.
“‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘Therefore I hope in Him!’ The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.” (Lamentations 3: 24-26 NKJV)
