I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (2 Corinthians
6:16)
Here is a mutual interest. Each belongs to each. God is the
portion of His people, and the chosen people are the portion of their God. The
saints find in God their chief possession, and He reckons them to be His
peculiar treasure. What a mine of comfort lies in this fact for each believer!
This happy condition of mutual interest leads to mutual
consideration. God will always think of His own people, and they will always
think of Him. This day my God will perform all things for me; what can I do for
Him? My thoughts ought to run toward Him, for He thinketh upon me. Let me make
sure that it is so and not be content with merely admitting that so it ought to
be.
This, again, leads to mutual fellowship. God dwells in us,
and we dwell in Him; He walks with us, and we walk with God....
Oh, for grace to treat the Lord as my God: to trust Him and
to serve Him, as His Godhead deserves! Oh, that I could love, worship, adore,
and obey Jehovah in spirit and in truth! This is my heart's desire. When I
shall attain to it, I shall have found my heaven. Lord, help me! Be my God in
helping me to know Thee as my God, for Jesus' sake.
