Psalm 119:57-58
(57) Thou art my portion, O
LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
In
this life, we tend to expect certain "portions" (allotment). But for
the believer, we should realize that HE
is our portion. Can we, like the Psalmist, say, "The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot."? (Psalm 16:5) If we recognize God as our portion,
perhaps we would be more inclined to keep His Words.
(58) I intreated thy favour with my whole heart:
be merciful unto me according to thy word.
Similar
to verse 41 ("Let thy mercies come
also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word."),
there are promises "according to [God's] Word." It is amazing to
think that those of us who have obtained God as our portion (through salvation)
now have access to God's favor and His mercy - according to His Word.
