Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even to death. He is so. Nothing else is so as He is. Our time, wealth, children, bodies, souls are not, strictly speaking, our own. But God is. And we may know and claim this. David was ever making such claim. Oh Lord, he says, my strength, my rock, my fortress, etc. And this relationship is not of our making but of His. We choose and give ourselves to Him, but it is by His grace. And the relationship is permanent — for ever and ever. Every other relation breaks up; but this, never. And the soul exults in this relationship. (W. Jay.)
