I Will Be Their God

"I will be to them a God!" Hebrews 8:10


That is, to all His redeemed people. I will be the object of their adoration and trust, the subject of their meditation, and the source of all their happiness.

To be our GOD is more than being our friend, helper, or benefactor. He engages to do us good according to His all-sufficiency, to bestow upon us blessings which none else can!

He will pardon us--and pardon like only God can!

He will sanctify us--and sanctify us like only God can!

He will comfort us--and comfort us like only God can!

He will glorify us--and glorify us like only God can!

If He is our God--He is our All.

And all that He has is ours! He is our inheritance, and a glorious inheritance He is.

Consider, when in danger, in darkness, in distress, in temptation, in duty, or in affliction--God will be to you a God delivering you, enlightening you, comforting you, strengthening you, and sanctifying you.

Look to Him for all that He has promised--which is all that you need! Adore His Divine perfections, and rejoice that they are all engaged to make you eternally blessed.

Live to His glory, walk by His Word, and He will glorify Himself in your present and everlasting welfare. He rejoices to do good unto His people, He delights to bless them!

"I will be to them a God!" Hebrews 8:10
