Prayer for the Day - January 9
"I will be their God." Bible Study Reference: Jeremiah 31:33
Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou wantest
something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou canst
pour this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David, "My cup
runneth over; I have more than heart can wish"? When this is fulfilled, "I
am thy God," art thou not possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as
death, but He who filleth all in all can fill it. The capacity of our wishes
who can measure? but the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow
it. I ask thee if thou art not complete when God is thine? Dost thou want
anything but God? Is not His all-sufficiency enough to satisfy thee if all
else should fail? But thou wantest more than quiet satisfaction; thou
desirest rapturous delight. Come, soul, here is music fit for heaven in this
thy portion, for God is the Maker of Heaven. Not all the music blown from
sweet instruments, or drawn from living strings, can yield such melody as
this sweet promise, "I will be their God." Here is a deep sea of bliss, a
shoreless ocean of delight; come, bathe thy spirit in it; swim an age, and
thou shalt find no shore; dive throughout eternity, and thou shalt find no
bottom. "I will be their God." If this do not make thine eyes sparkle, and
thy heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly thy soul is not in a healthy
state. But thou wantest more than present delights--thou cravest something
concerning which thou mayest exercise hope; and what more canst thou hope
for than the fulfillment of this great promise, "I will be their God"? This
is the masterpiece of all the promises; its enjoyment makes a heaven below,
and will make a heaven above. Dwell in the light of thy Lord, and let thy
soul be always ravished with His love. Get out the marrow and fatness which
this portion yields thee. Live up to thy privileges, and rejoice with
unspeakable joy. Prayer for the Day - January 9 Prayer for the Day
