The Lord My Portion by Watchman Nee

”The Lord is my portion.” So said the psalmist (Psalms 119:57) and Jeremiah (Lamentation 3:24), and in so saying, they declare that their portion in life is none other than the Lord Himself.

The daily readings found here have been taken from the many publications of Watchman Nee. Although they cover a number of different topics, they seem to contain a call to us to know and experience Christ as our portion - as our all. It is with hope that God’s people may be helped to know the Lord as their daily portion.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. - Matthew 10:37

Once there was a brother who upon seeing the meaning of baptism in the Scriptures wished to be immersed. But his father did not approve of it. The son therefore experienced a great struggle in his heart at the time. His dilemma was that if he were immersed he would hurt his father’s heart; but if he were not immersed he would be disloyal to the Lord’s word. As he was struggling in his heart over the issue, he was given a word by the Lord: “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.” Here he encountered this matter of cost. Would he please his parents or would he please the Lord? Thank God, the love of Christ captured him, so that he finally was baptized by immersion.
