Proverbs 16:33 says that “The lot is cast into the lap, but it’s every decision is from the Lord.” Recently the Lord helped me realize that a lot is not just a dice. It’s not just a gambling device used to decide the undetermined. A lot is a choice. A lot is a group. A lot is a decision that someone makes. God declares what shall come of the lot we choose. When we walk with the Lord and are guided by His Holy Spirit, when our “delight is in the Lord, He will give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4)
This brings me to a verse that I read today and finally is beginning to be opened to me. Psalm 16:5 states that “The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup, YOU SUPPORT MY LOT.” As it was prophecied over David “God is with you, do whatever you heart desires” (2 Sam 7:3) when I make God my Lord and walk in integrity before Him, He is in support of my choices. Even moreso and especially when I have sought Him for wise council.
Wow, this is so beautiful how the psalms connect to each other. It’s also so beautiful how when we give our Lives to the Lord, and we dedicate our lives to him, he will let us follow what he put in our hearts. He will let us follow our desires to a certain degree, and it is not about following a Law where everything is the same in everyone’s life, but that God will give everyone what is on their heart, and it is so different in everyone’s life. Thank you for sharing Bryant, HalleluYah, this is beautiful.
Exodus 7:20; “Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded…”
Exodus 8:31; “And the Lord did as Moses asked…”
Psalm 16:5-6; “The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed I have a beautiful inheritance.”
Psalm 16:9-10; “Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.”
In Matthew 24; Jesus talks about the signs and wonders that will happen in the last days to show that it is close to the day of judgment.
Take Away: God is telling me to follow his heart, his will, and where his spirit leads me; Then he will give me the desires of my heart. He wants me not to worry of my inheritance for He is my choice of the portion, and he has made me dwell securely. I should not worry about whom I should marry, what job I will have, what I will have for food, but that he will make my flesh dwell securely. He has my lot. Indeed I have a beautiful inheritance with him in heaven.
