"YOU Are My Portion, O LORD!"

My portion!
(Jonathan Edwards)

"The LORD is the portion of my 
inheritance!" Psalm 16:5

The redeemed have all their good in GOD. 

GOD HIMSELF is the great good which 

they are brought to the possession and 

enjoyment of by redemption. HE is 

the highest good, and the sum of all 

that good which CHRIST purchased. 

GOD HIMSELF is the inheritance 

of the saints; HE is the portion 

of their souls. GOD HIMSELF is 

their wealth and treasure, their 

food, their life, their dwelling place, 

their ornament and diadem, and 

their everlasting honor and glory! 

"Whom have I in heaven but YOU? 
And I have no delight or desire on 
earth besides You!" Psalm 73:25

The glorious excellencies and beauty 

of GOD will be what will forever 

entertain the minds of the saints. 

The love of GOD will be their 

everlasting feast. 

The redeemed will indeed enjoy other 

things; they will enjoy the angels, 

and will enjoy one another. But that 

which they shall enjoy in the angels, 

or each other, or in anything 

else whatsoever, which will yield 

them delight and happiness--

will be what will be seen 

of GOD in them!

"YOU are my portion, O LORD!" 
Psalm 119:57
