A Covenant He Remembers

He provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever. — Ps 111:5 BSB

Those who fear God don’t need to fear lack. Throughout all these long years, the Lord has always provided for His children—whether they were in the wilderness, by the brook Cherith, in captivity, or in the middle of a famine. Up to this point, He has given us our daily bread, and we have no doubt that He will continue to provide until we need no more.

As for the greater blessings of the covenant of grace, He will never fail to supply them according to our needs. He remembers the covenant He made and never acts as though He regrets it. Even when we provoke Him, He remains faithful. He continues to love us, keep us, and comfort us, just as He promised. He pays attention to every part of His promises, never allowing a single word to go unfulfilled.

We may forget our God, but He never forgets us. He cannot forget His Son, the guarantor of the covenant, or His Holy Spirit, who carries out its terms, or His own honor, which is bound to the covenant. Therefore, the foundation of God stands firm, and no believer will ever lose their divine inheritance, sealed by a covenant of salt.
