(Archibald Brown, "This God Our God!")
"I am my Beloved's--and my Beloved is mine!" Song of Songs 6:3
There are two passages in the Scripture which ought never to be separated.
One is "The LORD's portion is His people." Deuteronomy 32:9. That is God's side.
And the other passage is this: "The LORD is my portion."Lamentations 3:24
God and I possess each other. God finds His portion in His people--and His people find their portion in God.
His heart is mine--for He loves me.
His ear is mine--for I may pour into it all my tales of sorrow and all my songs of joy.
His eyes are mine--for they watch me from morning until night.
His hand is mine--for it is stretched out to uphold me.
This God is mine--in all His glorious perfections!
Oh, He is a God of infinite glory. Abased in the very dust, and half bewildered by the thought, I yet dare to look up, and say, "This God is my God forever and ever! He will be my guide even until death!" Psalm 48:14
