You have assigned me my portion and cup...

Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."As for the saints who are in the Land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. 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. I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; Even at night my heart instructs me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave. Nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made know to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. - Psalms 16:1-3,5-11.

To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. The Lord works out everything for his own ends, even the wicked for a day of disaster. When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps - Proverbs 16:1,3,4,7,9

As you start your week allow the Lord to determine your steps. Notice God said steps. Sometimes we want to go miles without taking steps in the process. Know that the Lord has assigned you a portion and cup for His purposes. He has you hemmed in and will fill you with the Joy of His presence. Allow your whole being to rest in His presence today.
