“The Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for him” Lamentations 3:24
As I read this morning, I came across this verse. I have never realized what it means for the Lord to be my portion. I guess in this season there are things that my heart is waiting for. I need guidance and wisdom most often on how to deal with certain things. I have a yearning for something; however, I must wait. In this waiting period, I have struggled a little bit. I have struggled knowing how to be accept what is and why it is the way it is currently. I don’t truly understand allowing the Lord to be my portion and why I should even wait for him. I am not good at waiting. I am pretty sure my patience is that of a fly. But this morning as I read this verse, I stopped. in a strange way I understood in my soul what this meant. I don’t know if I can put words to it but I know that while I wait, the Lord will fill me up and he will be enough for me… always and in my current limbo period of waiting. I know that whatever the plan is, whatever this all ends up playing out to be, the Lord is first and foremost my portion. He is all my heart needs to continue on this amazingly crazy and wonderful journey that I have walked through for the past 6 years with. My spirit is seeking to be refreshed daily and hourly by the incredible love that comes from the Lord. I have continued to feel this. I have continued to be filled with joy and laughter. I can only hope and pray that this continues this way.
So here I am, in this limbo, waiting, but with the knowledge that the Lord fulfills every need I have. And he really cares and he really loves me. And what is better than that, my friends?
