(Archibald Brown, “This God Our God!”)
There are two passages in the Scripture that ought never to be separated.
One is, “The Lord’s portion is His people.” Deuteronomy 32:9
And the other passage is this, “The Lord is my portion, says my soul.” Lamentations 3:24
God and my soul possess each other.
He finds His portion in His people — and His people find their portion in God.
Therefore God is the portion of His people forever!
This God is mine, in all His glorious perfection.
Because His heart is mine, for He loves me.
And His ear is mine, for I may pour into it all my tales of sorrow and all my songs of joy.
His eyes are mine, for they watch me from morning until night.
Therefore His hand is mine, for it is stretched out to uphold me.
Oh, He is a God of infinite glory. Abased in the very dust, and half bewildered by the thought, I yet dare to look up, and say, “This God is my God forever and ever. He will be my guide even unto death!” Psalm 48:14

God’s Providence
God’s Providence is always executed in the wisest manner possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the happenings of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. We bow to His will, which is evident in His works of Providence, and say, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!”
