This is a blessed truth as it stands, and it is written, “Your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:33For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)
A constant use of that word, “We are the Lord’s,” will keep our peace, and establish our hearts, that not only is it a truth and a fact, but it ought to be running always in our minds, “I am the Lord’s,” till it becomes the fixed habit and thought of our soul, “I am the Lord’s,” and to meditate upon it.
It will keep us free and separate in the strivings of the world or its disturbances; it will keep our eyes from its pleasures. it will keep us from its devices; it will keep us, as it runs in our hearts, lively in duty. So may it prevail more and more in our hearts and minds. We may go here and there, up and down, with this circumstance or that, yet “I am the Lord’s” going with us, will keep our paths as becomes the brightness of His coming.
Be careful about everything, that, because you are the Lord’s, you may not fail in anything; but be not anxious about anything, making known your requests, great or small, with prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving; and the peace of God, such peace as God has, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6,76Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6‑7)).
