The Lord Is My Portion - Psalm 119: 57-64

What a blessed privilege to know that I have a portion which is the Lord the best part I could ever truly have for He gives me His mighty strong sword This sword is His mighty inerrant word my life is secure when I keep it Lord, with my whole heart, seek thy favour keep your promise to me so I don't quit My mind thinks often of your testimonies for my ways need be as your way immediately hearing from you I obey knowing your blessing comes without delay The wicked seek to draw me in help me never to forget your law rise early to bring praise to you for your righteousness will so draw My companions are filled with godly fear in your word, they dwell day and night look out and see God's perfect love be taught in holy writ for it's divinely right (This is my " Psalm 119 project" which I began to write a couple of years ago, so this is the eighth poem of twenty-two poems I've written over that time to cover all of Psalm 119.)

Yes, the Lord is the portion of our hearts:) Really inspiring, this project of yours, Gordon, it must have taken a lot of meditation on His Word and hard work to rhyme it:)

Hi Gordon, Your well-written write of the Psalms 119 project showcased your faith in God. Good content and rhymes. Now I am compelled to reread Psalms 119. Well done. Have a great day:-) Alexis

His laws and love lives in us Gordon, sad for those that turn their backs on him. Hope you're well Gordon, thankfully things have cooled down now. Tom
