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
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 year is almost over, and 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 over
turns 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. ...CH
