This is a baptismal statement that Philip Henry wrote for his children (he was the father of Matthew Henry, author of the popular one volume commentary of the Bible)
I take God to be my chief end and highest good.
I take God the Son to be my prince and Savior.
I take God the Holy Spirit to be my sanctifier, teacher, guide, and comforter.
I take the Word of God to be my rule in all my actions and the people of God to be my people under all conditions.
I do hereby dedicate and devote to the Lord all that I am,
all that I have,
and all I can do.
And this I do deliberately, freely, and forever.
WOW
Great posts. You need to write more, Tigger.
