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.
