* LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6
* I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." Lamentations 3:24
A portion or a share is a part of the whole, an allotment, if you will, mostly referred to as an inheritance. It could be a portion of the booty or plunder that one had the right to, or the portion of land that belonged to one in the division of an estate.
So, to say that the Lord is our portion means that we will trust in the Lord for our portion, for our inheritance, for our lot, for our part, for our rightful allotment.
It also means that whatever we enjoy at current times, all the little blessings, are given us by the Lord as our portion and secured lot! The joy in our heart, the peace of our mind, the confidence in our Lord are all part of His grace we enjoy.
His mercies are new every morning. Let us praise Him with a grateful heart for securing our lot and for being our portion. Amen!

Interestingly
King David and Prophet Jeremiah from different times have made the same
statements. What do they really mean by saying the Lord is their
portion?
