Deuteronomy 32:9 (NKJV) 9 For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
We are people of possessions, I mean that we consider what we have as personally ours, it belongs to us. The child who plays with anthers toy often cries, Thats mine, mine," the powerful desire to possess is a part of everyones life.
Now consider that God has created all things, all of nature belongs to Him, the seas, mountains and the fullness of every thing belongs to the One who created, yet His desire is that you and I love Him. We do not love God the way we should, so He made a way to bring us to Himself, Jesus willingly gives His perfect life that you and I might have fellowship with God. His only desire is that we might love Him and desire to posses Him, God owns it ALL, and yet, "His portion is His people!"
Heavenly Father help me to love You the way You intended, help me to long for You and no other thing. May all our desires be for You, that we may be your people. Amen
