It stopped me in my tracks the first time I read it. My circumstances were not particularly pleasant at that moment in time and I felt like my life was anything but good but I flipped open my bible anyway. I felt passed over, ignored, left out by God and completely alone until I read these precious words King David wrote centuries ago:
O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup;
You maintain my lot. The boundary lines have fallen to me in pleasant places;
Yes, I have a good inheritance. Psalm 16:5-8
As I thought about what God was saying here it grasped ahold of my heart and in all these years it’s never let go. For me, this is one of my top ‘life scriptures’ and I pray it regularly because I know it’s the absolute, take-it-to-the-bank truth….
Inheritance
My ‘One Word’ for 2021
I started blogging more than 10 years ago on a simple little site called The Kitchen Princess, mostly to share recipes with my daughter and friends. I love to cook, they liked my cooking and so it seemed a natural fit. But I’m a ponderer and thoughts come to me. Ideas and thoughts about God pop into my brain I’m sure couldn’t possibly originate with me. Good things, God things, you know? So I write about them too. I think you’d classify me as a ‘food and faith’ blogger. Which is perfectly okay with me!
As much as I love to cook, I love God more; thinking about Him, talking to Him, pondering His amazing goodness in my life, and as time went on, I realized I wanted to write about Him more and more.
