January 9 "I will be their God" (Jeremiah 31: 33). Christian, here is all you can require. If you can pour this promise into your cup, you can say, "My cup runneth over; I have more than anyone's heart can wish." When this is fulfilled, "I am thy God." are you not a possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as death, but He who fills all in all can fill it. Who can measure the capacity of our wishes? But the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. But you want more than quiet satisfaction; you desire rapturous delight. Here is music fir for heaven in this your 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" (Genesis 17: 8). Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight. Bathe your spirit in it. Swim forever and you will find no shore. Dive throughout eternity and you will find no bottom. If this does not make your eyes sparkle and your heart beat high with bliss, then your soul is not in a healthy state. 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 your Lord, and let your soul be saturated with His love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields you. Live up to your privileges and rejoice with unspeakable joy.
