4. While as yet we see not all things put under him, we are glad to put
ourselves and our fortunes at his disposal. He shall chose our inheritance for us. We feel his reign to be so gracious that we even now ask to be in
the fullest degree the subjects of it. We submit our will, our choice, our
desire, wholly to him. The excellency of Jacob whom he loved. He gave
his ancient people their portion, he will give us ours, and we ask nothing
better; this is the most spiritual and real manner of clapping our hands because
of his sovereignty, namely, to leave all our affairs in his hands, for then our
hands are empty of all care for self, and free to be used in his honor. He
loves us, and he will be our exceeding joy. If we have but a portion in our
Lord Jesus, it is enough for our largest desires. Our best treasure lies in
having such a God to trust in, such a God to love us. Selah. Yes, pause,
faithful singers. Here is abundant room for holy meditation.
