“Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the LORD, who has compassion on you.—Isaiah 54:10 (NIV)
Gracious, Merciful and
Loving God,
Thank You for Your faithful and unfailing love for me and for the steadfast covenant of peace which You graciously offer to me—even in the face of my rebellion and sin.
As I look to the most
immovable things I see in all creation, remind me that Your covenant stands even
firmer yet—that nothing will cause Your precious promises to change.
Help me to come to fully
understand that Your covenant is not established by the uncertainty of my own merit—which
would only render it weakened and wavering.
But rather, that Your covenant
is established upon Your love, mercy and grace alone—which is from everlasting
to everlasting.
Help me to live, believing
that though this world may be shaken and come tumbling down around me, though
others may betray and abandon me, though life as I know it now may be stripped
from me, Your covenant of peace will remain—for Your compassionate love for me
never fails.
Thank You for Your faithful and unfailing love for me and for the steadfast covenant of peace which You graciously offer to me—even in the face of my rebellion and sin.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
