1 Chronicles 26:1-27:34; Ezekiel 23:1-49; John 8:31-59
I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts. Psalm 119:94
“I am Thine” is a simple, but profound acknowledgment of divine ownership, and the first of three elements in this verse. It encompasses many glorious truths. There are seven reasons (at least) why believers can rest in the security of belonging to the Lord. We are His by right of: Creation (Psa. 139:13-18); Redemption (Isa. 43:1-4); Inheritance (Eph. 1:18); Discovery (Matt. 13:45-46); Labour (Isa. 53:11); Conquest (Heb. 2:14-15) and Entrustment (John 17:6).
Understanding this precious relationship will produce reliance by faith (save me) and impress upon the believing heart a sense of responsibility to seek His precepts. —Phil Coulson
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee. —Fanny Crosby
