DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 6; Ezekiel 8-9; John 2:1-22
Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
Micah 7:20
Early in life Jacob tried to obtain right things by wrong means. He was a deceiver and was systematically disciplined by God. Abraham was an oft-assailed pilgrim who believed the Almighty and awaited the fulfillment of His covenant (Heb. 11:8-10). Centuries later through Micah, the Lord assures Jacob’s descendants that He will not deceive them, but will act in truth towards them. Furthermore, He reaffirms His covenantal mercy to Abraham’s descendants. He who is faithful to Israel will also keep His word to the church! —K. R. Keyser
The Lord is truth unchanging, through the storms of life,
The Almighty shows mercy to His saints amidst their strife. —K. R. K.
