Our portion!

"They shall rejoice in their portion!" Isaiah 61:7

The Lord's people often appear to have very little to rejoice in on earth—as the ground of their joy is invisible. 

The Lord is their portion now—and in possessing Him—they really possess all things. The Lord Himself is their inheritance. 

They shall possess the glorious land also, as their portion soon. It is a land . . . 
where storms never arise,
where diseases never come,
where sorrow is never known,
where pain is never felt,
where the Lamb shall be their light,
and a present God their glory!

But they may and do rejoice along their way to this glorious land! 

They rejoice that they have infallible direction—so that they can never miss their road!

They rejoice that they have omnipotent protection—so that they shall safely arrive at the end! 

They rejoice that they have unfailing supplies—so that they shall never be left to necessity! 

They rejoice that they have a sovereign God—who overrules everything for their good! 

They shall rejoice in their PORTION:
in its greatness—for it is as vast as infinity;
in its goodness—for it is the best in existence;
in its permanence—for it shall never pass into other hands;
in its purity—for it is perfect holiness;
and in its certainty—for it can never be forfeited or lost!

"They shall rejoice in their portion!"
