God is All I need

The Lord is all I have, and so I put my hope in him — Lamentations 3:24

It is not “The Lord is part of what I have,” nor “The Lord is in what I have”; but he himself makes up the sum total of my inheritance. Within the circumference of that circle lies all that we possess or desire.

The Lord is my all in all. Not only his grace and mercy, nor his love, nor his covenant, but the I AM himself. He has chosen us for himself, and we have chosen him for ourselves. It is true that the Lord must first choose our inheritance for us, or else we shall never choose it for ourselves; but if we are really called according to the purpose of electing love, we can sing:-

“Lov’d of my God for him again
With love intense I burn;
Chosen of him ere time began,
I choose him in return.”

The Lord is our all in all. God fills himself; and if God is all-sufficient in himself, he must be all-sufficient for us as well. It is not easy to satisfy man’s desires. When he dreams that he is satisfied, soon he wakes to the perception that there is somewhere beyond and straightway his heart cries, “Give, give.” But all that we can wish for is to be found in our God, so that we ask, "What else have I in heaven but you? Since I have you, what else could I want on earth?" (Ps 73:25)

Well may we “delight ourselves in the Lord” who makes us to drink of the river of his pleasures. Our faith stretches its wings and mounts like an eagle into the heaven full of God’s love.

"How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!" (Ps16:6)

Let us rejoice in the Lord always; let us show to the world that we are a happy and a blessed people, and induce them to exclaim, “We want to share in your destiny, because we have heard that God is with you.” (Zec 8:23)
