Psalm 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. I. THE SPIRITUAL COVENANTER. We have heard of the old Covenanters of Scotland. I have a picture of one. But we have to speak of those who at this day keep the covenant of the Lord. The first covenant with our first father Adam shuts up the soul in despair. But there is a new and better covenant. God has shown it to us, and written it on the tablets of our heart. The redeemed man has been the subject of a special call, and is now united to God in Christ Jesus. A true covenanter says, "Sooner death than false of faith." II. THE COVENANTER'S NOTABLE EXPERIENCE. "All the paths of the Lord are mercy," etc. So, then, the Lord makes many approaches to covenanting men. I like the word "paths," for it seems to say that the Lord has walks of His own. He makes them for Himself, and comes along them quietly, taking us at unawares. And they are all of mercy and truth. That is to say, God has always shown the truth of His Word. To this rule there is no exception. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. |
