This God is mine, in all his glorious perfection. By Archibald Brown.

Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 9 The Lord's portion is his people. Lamentations chapter 3 verse 24 The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I hope in him.

The above two passages of Scripture ought never to be separated. God and my soul possess each other. God finds his portion in his people, and his people find their portion in their God.

This God is mine, in all His glorious perfection. His heart is mine, for He loves me with an infinite love. His ear is mine, for I may pour into it all my tales of sorrow and all my songs of joy. His eyes are mine, for they keep watch on me from morning until night. His hand is mine, for it is ever stretched out to uphold me.

He is a God of infinite glory. Abased in the very dust, and half bewildered by the thought, I yet dare to look up and say, This God is my God for ever and ever. He will be my guide even unto death.
