Today's Passage: Psalm 72-73

How do you hold yourself together in difficult times?  What keeps you mentally stable and allows you peace of mind?  For some of us the things which calm us are very worldly (i.e. food, television, sports, etc.). However, we know that worldly possessions or emotions should never be what sustains us. 

The Psalmist writes that the Lord is his portion.  Meaning, the Lord is the one who sustains life in all facets.  What a great truth!  God is my portion.  Next time I'm confronted with difficulty, instead of relying on things of this world to sustain me, why don't I just rely on the one who made the world?  Today, let's remember that the Lord is our portion and we can give thanks to him for that.
