The Twenty Seventh of December.
From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"
362 - His Kindness and Covenant
“The mountains may be taken away and
the hills may shake, but My loving-kindness
will not be taken from you.
And My agreement of peace will not be shaken,”
says the Lord who has loving-pity on you.”
Isaiah 54:10 TLV
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 departs 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 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.

From the December 27th Quotes Archive…
Winning isn't everything,
But wanting to win is.
- Coach Vince Lombardi
A coach is someone who tells
you what you don’t want to hear,
who has you see what you don’t
want to see,
So, you can be who you have
Always known you could be.
- Coach Tom Landry
Do not wait;
the time will never be
‘just right.’
Start where you stand,
and work with whatever
Tools you may have at
your command,
and better tools will
be found as you go along.
- George Herbert
Every adversity has within
it the seed of an equivalent
or greater benefit.
- Napoleon Hill
There is no chance,
no destiny, no fate,
that can hinder or control
the firm resolve of a
determined soul.
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox
The reason most people never
reach their goals
Is that they don’t define them,
Or ever seriously consider them
as believable or achievable.
Winners can tell you where they
are going,
What they plan to do along the way,
And who will be sharing the
adventure with them.
- Denis Waitley
