“I WILL BE YOUR GOD!”
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17
Jeremiah 31:27-34

Hebrews 8:10-13

 

Emmanuel: God with us.

 

“I WILL BE YOUR GOD!”
 
Christian! Here is something that satisfies, more than all that you can ever wish for. Ponder again what the Lord Almighty is saying: “…I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people” (Jer 31:33). This is God’s promise to His people, far exceeding wish or thought. The Psalmist David would say to such an offer, “…my cup runneth over” (Ps 23:5).
 
In Christ we possess all things. All our fondest wishes and highest desires will be met by the Lord. Our cup runneth over because the immeasurable wealth of God will more than fill and overflow it. And He says, “I will be your God!” Ask yourself: “Am I not complete when the Lord is mine? Do I want anything else, besides God? Is not His all-sufficiency enough to satisfy me, if all else should fail?”
 
Come, my friend, here is music fit for heaven in God’s promise, for He is the Maker of Heaven. No other music can compare with His promise. “I will be your God!” Call it what you will: a sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of pure delight. You can never exhaust God’s blessings even after ten thousand years. In that eternal day, you will behold the beauty of the Lord, and through endless ages you will inquire in His temple (Ps 27:4).
 
Of God’s promises, “I will be your God” is the masterpiece. Its certain prospect brings Heaven to earth. Daily live and walk in the light of this promise. No more should we plan and plot our future on earth. Live as citizens of Heaven, children of the King, and rejoice with unspeakable joy. 
He will be our God and we shall be His people.
 
THOUGHT: God says, “I will be your God.” What does this mean to me?

PRAYER: Father, may that day Thou hast promised come soon!
