January 15: Psalm 16:5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot.

The psalmist talks about God, then sometimes just starts talking TO God with no warning to us at all! He does that here—telling us that out of all the choicest portions the feast of life has offer, he has chosen the Lord. He has filled his cup with God’s truth and love. Then he makes sure God knows that he understands—it is God who holds all things, all gifts, every “lot” there is.
