Personal Consideration #

Psalm 119:57-64

Introduction

The Psalmist in this portion gives us a view into some personal introspection of his own life. Some internal thoughts, of where he is at.

I. David’s Allotment (57-58) #

  • “Thou art my portion”
  • Portion – A part assigned; an allotment, or dividend.

A. Godly portion #

  • Portion is often portrayed in the idea of food. The portion you are served.
  • The Psalmist recognizes God as his portion, what he receives in life.

i. Many desire earthly things #

  • We live in the world, we are flesh and blood.
  • We see and we desire, all of marketing is built off the desire of man to have things.
  • The Psalmist is content with God as his portion!

1 Timothy 6:6–7 —6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
