* The LORD Is My PORTION !!

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him (LAMENTATIONS 13:25).

The Book of Lamentations is actually a postscript (P.S.) to Jeremiah - as though the author wished to add detail on the mourning of Jerusalem. But inside this little book lies a beautiful portion of pure hope and of God's great faithfulness to His people (3:22-25). His love, mercy and compassion are fresh and new and just as sure as the morning sunrise and the earth-refreshing dew.

Each of us can recall personal incidents when God's mercy was apparent - the time when a loved one was hovering between life and death - or when parents prayed earnestly and diligently for a child who had drifted far from the Father. God understands that love within our hearts and shows His compassion. How many times has He shown mercy to someone who deliberately and willfully offended Him ?

In God's Word we see His faithfulness everywhere. *From Genesis to Revelation. He never alters what He says He will do. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Jeremiah gives a personal testimony in chapter 3 of Lamentations where, after reciting the afflictions he has suffered, he states, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him" (verse 24).

If we have made the Lord our portion, we have assurance of His compassion, faithfulness and mercy. Such assurance is more than enough to see us through the problems of life !

** "More TIME" .. !!! **

"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your need in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame (Isaiah 58:11)."

"WHILE I was still in elementary school, God let me know, through the lives of several missionaries, that He wanted me to serve Him in Africa. But just recently He gave me this verse in Isaiah with the renewed promise that even here in the African sun, He will guide me and those with whom I work and will give us daily strength.

He will also guide the women of this sun-scorched land to Himself that they too may know His love and presence in their lives - women like Esther.

Esther grew up close to a strong Christian church. She attended services regularly, gave herself to the Lord early in her life but remained weak and insecure in her attitiude toward serving her God. She was willing to stand behind someone but fearful of leadership. When asked, "Will you teach a Bible class? Lead a women's group?" she replied, "No, I can't."

Through special courses, however, Esther became involved in studying the Word. As she would come with new ideas and plans for outreach, we told her, "Great! Go and do it!"

She began to study more of God's Word and to spend more time in His presence in prayer! Now she leads the largest women's group in Libreville church. She counsels many women each week and is daily serving her God and His people here in Gabon. Esther is a woman who walks in His presence and knows that God is with her.

DO you have the assurance that the Lord is guiding you and daily strengthening your frame? You may if you spend daily time in His presence." RUTH BOWMAN
