Psalms 67:6
Then
shall the earth yield her increase;
and God, even our own God,
shall bless us.
He has pledged Himself to do so in His word
and He delights to make good His promises.
He is our God by covenant; by a spiritual
birth; through Jesus Christ; and at our own desire requests and consent.
He is the great God, who fills heaven and
earth; the all-sufficient God, who has all resources in Himself the unchanging
God, who is eternally the same.
He espouseth the quarrel of His people, He
dignifies and ennobles them, and proves Himself gracious and merciful unto
them.
He blesseth them indeed; and if others curse,
He turneth the curse into a blessing.
He may rest fully assured of this pleasing fact,
“God even our own God, will bless us.”
He has done so in Christ before time, He has
promised to do so through time, and when time shall be no more.
He will bless us in temporals and spirituals,
He will bless us wherever we are.
Let us believe the fact, and plead for its
realization in our experience; this will embolden us in danger, fortify us
against fear, and keep us in perfect peace.
Let us trust in Him, and He will bless us;
and so shall we rejoice in Him.
Rise, my soul, with ardour rise!
Breathe thy wishes to the skies!
Freely pour out all thy mind.
Seek, and thou art sure to find;
Ready art thou to receive,
Readier is thy God to give.
James Smith
