#yourportion

What have you been meditating on? What have you believed about yourself that is contrary to what the word of God says about you? You are who God says you are. Today I want to share with you what the Bible says about you.

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit flows from within you. Now what does that mean? I am glad you ask. I want to go back to the Old Testament in the book of Ezekiel chapter 47 verses 6-12 and it read:

He asked me, “Son of man, do you see this?”

Then he led me back to the bank of the river. When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river. He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live. Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets. The fish will be of many kinds—like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea. But the swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”

------ Ezekiel 47: 6-12

It's so hard when your desire doesn't match your portion. Hard to except that when you don't have what you want when you want it it's for your good.

As children, when we were given our plate of dinner, most of the time, there was no question of whether there was enough on our plate. If you were anything like me there were complaints of too much. As adults it's a hard lesson to accept that like our parents knew what was good for us God knows even better.
