The Lord My Portion

“The Lord is my portion.” So said the psalmist (Ps. 119.57 NASV) and Jeremiah (Lam. 3.24), and in so saying, they declare that their portion in life is none other than the Lord himself. The New Testament expresses the same thing, when Paul tells how Christ “was made unto us wisdom from God, both righteousness and sanctification and redemption” (1 Cor. 1.30 mg.). That Christ Jesus is now the portion of His people is a fact which lies at the heart of the gospel, and our discovery of this fact makes His grace and presence to become real to us. The daily readings found in this devotional have been taken from the most recent publications of Watchman Nee. Although they cover a number of different topics, they seem to contain a call to us to know and experience Christ as our portion, as our all. It is with the hope that God’s people may be helped to know the Lord as their daily portion that this book has been prepared.
