“The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot [Hebrew, gôrâl, pebble used for systematically making decisions, e.g., die (singular) or dice, as in casting lots]” (Psalms 16:5 KJV). Yahweh takes all chance out of maintaining the life and circumstances of those who are trusting Him. We make a great mistake, when we do not teach this as a foundational principle to all those who receive the religion of Jesus Christ. The Good Shepherd alone is capable of maintaining us to perfection and to the end — even those with failing health, diminishing mental capacities, feeble social circumstances, a difficult physical situation, frail financial means, or dire political position. Pray for all those the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.
