Psalm 16:5 “LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;”

[All I have comes from you, O Holy God:

my position,

my provision,

my protection,

my portion.

And what you give is good. This includes

my body,

my brains,

my boundaries,

my bonds,

my bounty;

whatever they appear to be from a human perspective, they are good and I will praise you for them.]

“you have made my lot secure.”

[You, Lord, are the God of power and authority. Only you can give security: whatever you choose to protect will be untouched by the enemy; whenever you allow an attack, it will be used for good, no matter how unpleasant it may be.

I can rest in your glorious and endless perfection, knowing you will weave all into your great plan to end sin, evil and time, while sweeping as many as possible into your Kingdom.

To you be glory and honor today, Lord. May praise and thanksgiving continually well up in my mind and spill off my lips. May the light of your love shine from my being, may you be lifted up in my actions and reactions, my attitude and speech.

May praise be the keynote of my life today, may the darkness of complaining and discontent, grumbling and negativeness be swept away in the brightness of your presence so that you may have more glory before both the invisible hosts and visible folks.]
