How sweet are Your words (promises) to my taste (palate)! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalms 119:103 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.103.NASB1995
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 19:9-11 NASB1995

My Portion
The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.
Psalms 119:57 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.57.NASB1995
“Portion” is written in several different translations as:
The Lord is my inheritance, my choice, my share in life, my everything, all I want, mine.
With the Lord as our portion how can we not desire, promise, to keep His word? How can we keep His word unless we feast on His word daily? How can we know Him as our portion without His word?
🌹“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

Christianity: The Easy Life?
Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Genesis 45:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gen.45.8.NASB1995
Joseph, the son of Jacob, speaking with his brothers, years after they had sold him into slavery.
Living for Jesus is not easy, but we are right where God plans for us to be for His purpose and plan. With this perspective we seek to accomplish God’s plan despite our circumstances. Consider it a privilege instead of grumbling and complaining. Seek His face continually!
And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.

Romans 12:19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.12.19.NASB1995
God’s word is truth. He is teaching me so much through the preaching at church and these verses about how to address those who hurt you. It comes down, not to the other person, but my reaction to the other person. It really comes down to pride. “How dare they say or do that to me,” when I need to give it to God to handle. That is where our peace subsides. In Jesus, the perfector of our soul.
The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.

Romans 6:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.6.12.NASB1995
By the power of Christ’s resurrection all mankind has the opportunity to live a life of righteousness because by His death we have been justified. If you have not surrendered to follow Jesus Christ in His truth, way and life — is today the day to make that choice?
The alternative is condemnation that came through the disobedience of one transgression.
So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.
