An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners

Again, he tells you; I am the All-sufficient God. Gen. 17. 1. Will you lay all at my feet, and give it up to my dispose, and take me for your only portion? Will you own and honour mine All-sufficiency? Will you take me as your happiness and treasure, your hope and bliss? I am a Sun and shield, all in one: will you have me for your All? 1 Gen. 15. Psal. 84. 11. Now what dost thou say to this? Doth thy mouth water after the Onions and Flesh-pots of Egypt? Art thou loth to exchange thy earthly happiness, for a part in God: and though thou wouldst be glad to have God and the world too, yet thou canst not think of having him, and nothing but him, but hadst rather take up with the earth below, if God would but let thee keep it, as long as thou wouldst? This is a fearful sign. But now if thou art willing to fell all for the pearl of great price; Mat. 13. 46. if thine heart answer, Lord, I desire no other portion but thee. Take the corn, and the wine, and the oil whose will, so I may have the light of thy countenance. I pitch upon thee for my happiness. I gladly venture my self on thee, and trust my self with thee. I set my hopes in thee; I take up my rest with thee. Let me hear thee say, I am thy God, thy salvation, and I have enough, all I wish for. I will make no terms with thee, but for thy self. Let me but ⟨p. 155⟩have thee sure, let me be able to make my claim, and see my title to thy self; and for other things, I leave them to thee. Give me more, or less, any thing, or nothing, I will be satisfied in my God. Take him thus, and he is thine own.
