July 2nd, Psalms 96-102
There is a powerfully consistent theme in these chapters this morning. It seems pointless to write about it, because the invitation isn't to write or read but to sing. So here's the song that came to my mind almost instantly this morning after reading these chapters.

"Oh Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord all the earth"
"The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice, let the many coastlands be glad."
"Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things."
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth, break forth in joyous songs and sing praises."
"Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it."
"Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy."
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing."
"I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make my music. I will ponder the way that is blameless!"

Psalms 70-73 A big enough portion
June 26th, Psalms 70-73
God is my portion. The part I get, the part that is mine. "My portion should be bigger" I tell myself. I've lost sight of what a portion really is. A 12 oz glass a six oz piece of meat a cup of pasta, a 2000 calorie diet. Portions become skewed and I think I need more than I think I need. I might go hungry (yeah right!!).
I hear that God is my portion, I wonder if I really know what it means to be satisfied with the portion given me. Would I, could i believe that any portion of God almighty would be enough for me or would I really want more. My desire for more is evidence of a failed understanding concerning how much of God is enough for me. My human nature to acquire more, posses more... erodes a contentment that my wife is able to display, but for me seems elusive.
"God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." The portion that God has granted me now is the portion that will be forever. God's not less available to me now than he will be in eternity. That's a cool thought this morning. It all reminds me of the song "Enough."
All of you is more than enough for
All of me, for every thirst and
Every need, you satisfy me
With your love and all I have in you
Is more than enough (with an exclamation point! not a question mark?)
A portion of God will never be less than enough!!
