Admin	Our Portion.................! (Isaiah 61:7) Posted : 6 Dec, 2011 05:47 AM Our portion! (James Smith, "Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household") "They shall rejoice in their portion!" Isaiah 61:7 The Lord's people often appear to have very little to rejoice in on earth--as the ground of their joy is invisible. The Lord is their portion now--and in possessing Him--they really possess all things. The Lord Himself is their inheritance. They shall possess the glorious land also, as their portion soon. It is a land . . . where storms never arise, where diseases never come, where sorrow is never known, where pain is never felt, where the Lamb shall be their light, and a present God their glory! But they may and do rejoice along their way to this glorious land! They rejoice that they have infallible direction--so that they can never miss their road! They rejoice that they have omnipotent protection--so that they shall safely arrive at the end! They rejoice that they have unfailing supplies--so that they shall never be left to necessity! They rejoice that they have a sovereign God--who overrules everything for their good! They shall rejoice in their PORTION: in its greatness--for it is as vast as infinity; in its goodness--for it is the best in existence; in its permanence--for it shall never pass into other hands; in its purity--for it is perfect holiness; and in its certainty--for it can never be forfeited or lost!
