Our Own God

[Espaid]

Psalm 67: 6
…and God, even our own God, shall bless us.”

From Charles Spurgeon:

But what shall I say of “our own God”? Words fail to express the depth of joy and delight which is contained within these three monosyllables, “Our own God.” “Our own” by the Everlasting covenant in which He gave Himself to us with all His attributes, with all that He is and has, to be our portion forever and ever. … “Our own God,” by our own choice of Him, a choice most free, but guided by His Holy Spirit, so that we who should have chosen our own ruin, were sweetly led to make our election of the Lord, because He had made His election of us. “Our own God,” ours to trust, ours to love, ours to fly to in every dark and troublous night, ours to commune with in every bright and balmy day, ours to be our guide in life, our help in death, and our glory in immortality. “Our own God,” affording us His wisdom to guide our path, His power to sustain our steps, His love to comfort our lives, His every attribute to enrich with more than royal wealth. The man who can truthfully, out of a pure heart, look up to the throne of the infinite Jehovah, and call Him, “My own God,” has said a more eloquent thing than ever flowed from the lips of Demosthenes, or fell from the tongue of Cicero. You are favored beyond all men, you to whom this is a household word, “our own God.”

Thank you for the beautiful lesson on Love this week!
