“For the mountains shall depart,
and the hills be removed;
but my kindness shall not depart from thee,
neither shall the covenant of my peace be
removed,
saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee”
Isaiah 54:10
HIS KINDNESS AND COVENANT
One of the most delightful qualities of divine
love is its abiding character. The pillars of
the earth may be moved out of their places, but
the kindness and the covenant of our merciful
Jehovah never depart from His people.
How happy my soul feels in a firm belief of this
inspired declaration! The years of my life are
growing few, but time does not change my Lord.
New lamps are taking the place of the old,
perpetual change is on all things; but our Lord
is the same. Force overturns the hills, but no
conceivable power can affect the eternal God.
Nothing in the past, the present, or the future
can cause Jehovah to be unkind to me.
My soul, rest in the eternal kindness of the
Lord, who treats thee as one near of kin.
Remember also the everlasting covenant. God is
ever mindful of it see that thou art mindful of
it too. In Christ Jesus the glorious God has
pledged Himself to thee to be thy God, and to
hold thee as one of His people.
Kindness and covenant — dwell on these words as
sure and lasting things which eternity itself
shall not take from thee.
