十一月十六日

經文: 「我心裡說，耶和華是我的分。」（耶利米哀歌三：24）

耶和華祂親自成為我生命的全部，不是祂的愛，祂的恩典，或是祂的屬性成為我的份，乃是祂活生生的本體，住在我的裡面，成為我的一切。

祂揀選我們成為祂的分，我們也揀選祂做為我們的分。事實上，是祂先揀選了我們，否則我們也不會揀選祂。人心是難以滿足的，但有了耶穌，我們便心滿意足，因為一切的需要慾望，都可從耶穌那兒得到。「除您以外，在天上我有誰呢？除您以外，在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。」（詩七十三：25）

讓我們暢飲救恩之泉，心中常以耶和華為樂，讓我們的信心踴躍，如鷹展翅上騰，以天堂為我們的居所。上帝「用繩量給我的地界，坐落在佳美之處，我的產業實在美好。」（詩十六：6）

讓我們常保篤定的心，喜樂的靈，活得有勁，生活有光有愛，活出一個令人羨慕嚮往的人生，讓周圍的人不由得說：「我們要與你們同去，因為我們聽見上帝與你們同在了。」（亞八：23）


Morning, November 16

Scripture: "The Lord is my portion, saith my soul."(Lamentations 3:24)

It is not "The Lord is partly my portion," nor "The Lord is in my portion"; but he himself makes up the sum total of my soul's inheritance. Within the circumference of that circle lies all that we possess or desire. The Lord is my portion. Not his grace merely, nor his love, nor his covenant, but Jehovah himself. He has chosen us for his portion, and we have chosen him for ours. It is true that the Lord must first choose our inheritance for us, or else we shall never choose it for ourselves; but if we are really called according to the purpose of electing love, we can sing—

"Lov'd of my God for him again

With love intense I burn;

Chosen of him ere time began,

I choose him in return."

The Lord is our all-sufficient portion. God fills himself; and if God is all-sufficient in himself, he must be all- sufficient for us. It is not easy to satisfy man's desires. When he dreams that he is satisfied, anon he wakes to the perception that there is somewhat yet beyond, and straightway the horse-leech in his heart cries, "Give, give." But all that we can wish for is to be found in our divine portion, so that we ask, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." Well may we "delight ourselves in the Lord" who makes us to drink of the river of his pleasures. Our faith stretches her wings and mounts like an eagle into the heaven of divine love as to her proper dwelling-place. "The lines have fallen to us in pleasant places; yea, we have a goodly heritage." Let us rejoice in the Lord always; let us show to the world that we are a happy and a blessed people, and thus induce them to exclaim, "We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."
