"Having nothing—yet possessing all things!" 2 Corinthians 6:10

The Lord's family are generally poor. People may look at them as having nothing valuable, important, or calculated to make them happy; but in reality they possess all things, because God is theirs. 

Our God has said, "I am their inheritance!" 

And we say, "You are my portion, O Lord."

His eternity is the date of our happiness.

His unchangeableness is the the rock of our rest.

His omnipotence is our constant guard.

His faithfulness is our daily security.

His mercies are our overflowing store.

His omniscience is our careful overseer.

His wisdom is our judicious counsellor.

His justice is our stern avenger.

His omnipresence is our sweet company.

His holiness is the fountain from which we receive sanctifying grace.

His all-sufficiency is the lot of our inheritance.

His infinity is the extent of our glorious portion.

This is the blessedness of the people of the Lord! They have God for their God, and all His perfections engaged to make them blessed. 
O love the Lord! Live upon the Lord! Make Him your portion and everlasting all!
