More than being our friend,-',

More than being our friend, helper, or benefactor!
"I will be to them a God!" Hebrews 8:10
That is, to all His redeemed people.
I will be . . .
the object of their adoration and trust,
the subject of their meditation,
and the source of all their happiness.
To be our GOD—is more than being our friend, helper, or benefactor; (creatures may be so to us). He engages to do us good according to His all-sufficiency, to bestow upon us blessings which none else can!
He will pardon us—and pardon like a God!
He will sanctify us—and sanctify us like a God!
He will comfort us—and comfort us like a God!
He will glorify us—and glorify us like a God!
If He is our God—He is our All.
And all He has is ours! He is our inheritance, and a glorious inheritance He is.
Consider, when . . .
in danger,
in darkness,
in distress,
in temptation,
in duty, or
in affliction—
God will be to you a God . . .
delivering you,
enlightening you,
comforting you,
strengthening you,
sanctifying you.
Make a God of Him! Look to Him for all He has promised, which is all you need! Adore His Divine perfections, and rejoice that they are all engaged to make you blessed.
Live to His glory, walk by His Word—and He will glorify Himself in your present and everlasting welfare. He rejoices to do good unto His people, He delights to bless them!
