I will be their God

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, 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."   Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) 

Christian! here is all you can require. To make you happy, you want something that will satisfy you; and is not this enough? If you can pour this promise into your cup, will you not to say, like David, “My cup runs over [Psalm 23:5]; I have more than heart can wish”? When this is fulfilled, “I am your God”, aren't you  possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as death, but he who fills all in all can fill it [1Corinthians 15:28]. The capacity of our wishes who can measure? But the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. I ask you if you are not complete when God is yours? Do you want anything but God? Is not his all-sufficiency enough to satisfy you if all else should fail? But you want more than quiet satisfaction; your desire rapturous delight. Come, soul, here is music fit 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.” Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight; come, bath your spirit in it; swim an age, and you will find no shore; dive throughout eternity, and you shall find no bottom. “I will be their God.” If this do not make yours eyes sparkle, and your heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly your soul is not in a healthy state. But you want more than present delights—you crave something concerning which your may exercise hope; and what more can your hope for than the fulfilment of this great promise, “I will be their God”? 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 always ravished with his love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields yours [Psalm 63:5]. Live up to your privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy [1 Peter 1:8].
