O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance. vv.5-6
Read chapter 16
Land allotted to the Israelites in the promise land was their inheritance and was a huge deal and super important. The lines of their boundaries marked their portion of inheritance. The Levites didn't have an inheritance of land but received a different portion of blessing. Here David, a priest and king, refers to his portion on the throne as king over Israel and his future promise of the throne as well. Yet aside from even that physical inheritance he says the Lord is his portion and it is a good inheritance that fills his cup and full of blessings. This is the best and our inheritance too! That we are the Lord's and part of all that is to come. If we have nothing in this life we can still rejoice that we have the Lord. Do you believe or realize that promise in your life today? Do you know what your inheritance from the Lord is? Is that na inheritance you desire more than anything else?
