A COVENANT HE REMEMBERS
"He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of
his covenant" Ps. 111:5
Those who fear God need not fear want. Through all these long years the
Lord has always found meat for His own children, whether they have been
in the wilderness, or by the brook Cherith, or in captivity, or in the
midst of famine. Hitherto the Lord has given us day by day our daily
bread, and we doubt not that He will continue to feed us till we want
no more.
As to the higher and greater blessings of the covenant of grace, He
will never cease to supply them as our case demands. He is mindful that
He made the covenant, and never acts as if He regretted it. He is
mindful of it when we provoke Him to destroy us. He is mindful to love
us, keep us, and comfort us, even as He engaged to do. He is mindful of
every jot and tittle of His engagements, never suffering one of His
words to fall to the ground.
We are sadly unmindful of our God, but He is graciously mindful of us.
He cannot forget His Son who is the Surety of the Covenant, nor His
Holy Spirit who actively carries out the covenant, nor His own honor,
which is bound up with the covenant. Hence the foundation of God
standeth sure, and no believer shall lose his divine inheritance, which
is his by a covenant of salt.
