God Is My Portion. HE is MORE Than Enough for Your Stuff


Pork Chops & God:

When I was a child, I remember every one of us sitting around the kitchen table. Mom and Dad were sitting at either end of the table, and if I remember correctly, the three boys sat on one side, and the girls sat on the other side. I remember reading a comic strip called "Little Abner."  He actually was a big muscular guy wearing overalls. And I remember he was sitting at a table, all by himself, with a stack of pork chops on a plate. He had all the pork chops to himself. I actually imagined what it would be like having those pork chops to myself.
Some Time Later:

It wasn't long until I had my own pork chop experience: One particular day, we had pork chops, with the vegetable's fixings, and we had some really good southern sweet tea. Right in front of me - sitting on that table - was a big ole stack of pork chops. I counted eight of them. And I was hungry; however, by the time all eight of us had our portion, we got 1 pork chop a piece. It was definitely not a Little Abner moment. Now, of course, none of us starved, and the fried okra, squash and southern green beans were more than filling. At the same time that big family portion shrank to a small portion.

In my last blog, I talked about how my health and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart. And HE is my portion. Well, my health and heart have failed; nevertheless, God is the strength of my heart, and HE is indeed my portion.  I guess that's why folks call me a "Walking Miracle."

You see, when the Creator is your portion, and when you actually know HIM, through HIS Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus, who is the Christ, and as HE portions out HIS Holy Spirit, I am a witness: This God Portion doesn't shrink. It is NOT small. God's portion that addresses your heart, your health, your grief, your trauma, your trouble, your brokenness and your pain is perfectly fitted to whatever you are experiencing. And it doesn't matter what circumstances seem to be right in front of you. HE is more than enough for all of your stuff.

Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I come to YOU seeking YOU as my strength and portion.
Today, I choose to let go and get out of YOUR way.
I choose to let YOU God be my portion.
I choose to trust you to portion out what I need so I can still represent YOU as an Ambassador of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I pray this in Jesus Name.
AMEN

PS: Don't be limited in your journey. Let God be your portion.

R.E.S.T: Vote With A Godly Conscience

Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today     Absolutely R.E.S.T.s on How We Vote : SAVE OUR REPUBLIC The Christ-Follower – Patriot and Defender of The Constitution Over a period of four decades, I wore the uniform of The United States Air Force! I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve, for unashamedly saying that I am a patriot – and more importantly – a Christ Follower. And I have found it gratifying that I decided to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party, as well as the Republican party. I was both, but since I decided to follow Jesus decades ago, in time, it became clear to me that, sometimes, being loyal to a political party left me in a place that I don’t believe my Lord Jesus would have me be; therefore, I turned away from them to be sure my loyalties didn’t resemble an idolatrous relationship with a political party: I am happily an Independent . As a Christ following Patriot, I firmly believe that we were endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, and...

Strength For The Broken Heart and Weary Soul

  One of the deadliest, and life-threatening diseases, is heart disease, and journeying through life with this debilitating morbidity is an overwhelming thing to be sure. That is unless you have the Lord God Almighty walking with you every step of your journey; additionally, you can become overwhelmed, not necessarily by this particular disorder, but you can really be dealing with overwhelming trauma, that simply drags you down to the valley of the shadow. Perhaps, it can best be said like this: You are going along in life, and BAM! Life comes at you in ways you were not anticipating. Whatever the circumstances, the situation is heart breaking, and your soul is simply weary. Then, all of the sudden, you feel like everything in you is giving out. Your body aches, fatigue sets in, and your mind is overwhelmed with worry. It feels like your spirit is crushed by disappointment, and you feel utterly depleted. Well, the writer of Psalm 73:26, seems to have experienced all the above and m...
