Boasting in the Lord.

By William Jay

What a Friend have I! a tried, kind, almighty, everlasting Friend, a Friend who loveth at all times, and has sworn that he will never leave me nor forsake me. "This is my beloved, and this is my Friend, O ye daughters of Jerusalem."
What a shepherd have I! "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me."
What a God is mine! The God of truth, the God of all grace, a God in covenant, a God in Christ. "This God is my God for ever and ever; he will be my guide even unto death."
What a portion is mine! The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; thou maintainest my lot. "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."
"My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad."
