7. In God is my salvation and my glory. Our
honor may well be left with him who secures our souls. To find all in God, and
to glory that it is so, is one of the sure marks of an enlightened soul. Therock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. He multiplies fides, for we
need varied expressions to serve as coffers for our treasure. God who is our
rock when we flee for shelter is also our strong rock when we stand firm and
defy the foe. Observe how the psalmist brands his own initials upon every name
which he rejoicingly gives to his God—my expectations, my rock, my
salvation, my glory, my strength, my refuge; he is not
content to know that the Lord is all these things; he acts faith towards him,
and lays claim to him under every character. If our experience has not yet
enabled us to realize the Lord under any of these consoling tides, we must seek
grace that we may yet be partakers of their sweetness.
