The Lord is my Blessing.

 The Lord Is My Blessing

Not merely the Giver of gifts that I hold,

But the Gift Himself,more precious than gold.

Not just the Source of the blessings I see,

But the Blessing that is ever being to me.

The Lord is my blessing.

He is my portion, my cup, and my lot,

The treasure for which all else is forgot.

When fields are abundant or when they are bare,

His presence,my bounty, beyond all compare.

LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup...

Surely I have a delightful inheritance.(Psalm 16:5-6)

The blessing is not in the harvest of grain,

But in the hand that sends sun and the rain.

The blessing is not in the safe,guarded way,

But in the"I AM" who walks with me each day.

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1)

He is my peace when the turmoil is deep,

The vow that He swears,and the watch that He keeps.

He is my joy in the midst of the pain,

My glorious gain when the world offers strain.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. (Psalm 28:7)

When others count riches in silver and gold,

My ledger lists mercies,forever retold.

The Lord is my blessing—my wealth,my increase,

My covenant promise,my everlasting peace.

"The LORD bless you and keep you..."

And they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.(Numbers 6:24, 27)

So let every "favor" be seen in His face,

And every"good thing" be found in His grace.

For all is but shadow,and He is the sun.

My journey,my dwelling, my Holy One.

The Lord is my blessing.

My beginning.My end.

My surety.My portion.

My Savior.My Friend.

Amen.

The Inheritance of His Presence:

This truth reframes our understanding of blessing, as scripture consistently points us to God Himself as our primary and perfect inheritance.

· Psalm 16:5-6 & Psalm 73:26 redefine "portion" and "inheritance" not as land or wealth, but as God alone.

· Numbers 6:24-27 reveals that the ultimate blessing is to be marked and kept by His name—His very character and presence.

· Psalm 23:1 declares that with the Lord as our shepherd, we lack nothing; He Himself fulfills every need.

· Lamentations 3:24 affirms in the midst of ruin: "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

To say "The Lord is my blessing" is to declare that every good thing is derivative, but He is essential. It is to find such satisfaction in His presence that all other gifts are understood as mere echoes of the Giver. He is not a means to a blessed life; He is the blessed life itself.
