Will that be Lite, Traditional or Mega Cut for your steak sir?

Hog's Breath Cafe is definitely a favourite eating spot & when ordering 18 hour slow roasted prime rib I always try to leave no questions for the person taking the order once I'm done: "I'll have the traditional size, medium rare with Byron Bay chilli sauce (which is amazing by the way), veggies & curly fries with mushroom sauce on the side."


There are more choices than you can poke a stick at & that is just for the prime rib, let alone everything else on the menu.  Despite the fact that I almost always order more than I need they definitely cater to the desired portion of every individual.


Psalm 73:26 says: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and MY PORTION forever."  For weeks I have been pondering this description of God as 'My Portion'.  What does that even mean?  A portion doesn't really mean anything without some sort of context - it could be big or small, vegetarian or a mixed grill.


Then it hit me - it doesn't say "a portion".  It isn't talking about just anyone's portion, what Joe feels like eating today or what Bill had yesterday.  It isn't even talking about what I ordered last time.  He is MY portion - precisely what I need right now, and what's better is that He knows what I need better than I do myself.


"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9


One last thought: while I was studying to write this I discovered another use of the same Hebrew word translated "portion" in Psalm 73.  It is in Deuteronomy 32:9 and says: "For the Lord's portion is His people…"  Give that some thought!
