Hezekiah clave to the Lord. 2 Kings 18:6. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. Psalms 63:8. He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:17. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord, God. Psalms 73:28.
When a person cleaves to another person, he conforms himself to him; observes only him and all his wishes; is completely led by him; wakes and sleeps; works and rests; eats and drinks willingly with him; cannot live without him; if he can not be with him in the body, yet his heart and his mind are with him. If you thus cleave to the Lord as man cleaves to man it is not ill with you. But your cleaving to the Lord must go still deeper. Not only your mouth and your eye but also your heart, your soul, must cling to the Lord; your spirit must be one with Jesus. You must understand and follow the suggestions of His eyes just as your whole body understands and follows the promptings of your will. Your hands and your foot conform to your will. Your will lives, manifests itself and moves in your members. Thus also must you be in Jesus and Jesus in you; and thus also must you be led and moved by Him. He who knows what He possesses in Christ and what he would be without Him, cleaves to Him with all his soul, with body and spirit; he is a true and living member on the body of Christ because he is animated and directed by Christ just as the members of his body are animated and directed by his soul.
Thou art my head, my Lord divine,
I am Thy member, wholly Thine;
And in Thy Spirit’s strength would still
Serve Thee according to Thy will.
