It Is What It Is

Psalm 16: 5-6 says:

O LORD, you are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; you maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance.

The Bible says, for the person who truly abides in the Lord, the Lord will control the way the ball bounces, the Lord will control the way the cookie crumbles, and the Lord will control the luck of the draw (or as the Bible calls it, the lot).

Be assured that, as you love the Lord will all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength – and your neighbor as yourself – the Lord will make sure you always dwell in pleasant places. After all, didn’t he promise he will make you the head and not the tail?

Psalm 15 begins with the question, ‘LORD, who may abide in your tabernacle? Who may dwell in your holy hill?’ The rest of the psalm answers the question.
