August 26th — Morning Reading
"He hath commanded His covenant forever." — Psalms 111:9
The Lord's people delight in the covenant itself. 
It is an unshakable source of comfort to them that the Holy Spirit leads into its feasting house and waves its banner of love. 
They delight to consider the ancient times of that covenant, 
remembering that before the daystar knew its place, or planets ran their round, the benefits of the saints were made secure in Christ Jesus. 
It is pleasing to them to remember the sureness of the promise, while meditating upon "the sure mercies of David." 
They delight to celebrate it as "signed, and sealed, and approved, in all things ordered well." 
It often makes their hearts enlarge with joy to think of its permanent status, as a covenant which neither time nor eternity, life nor death, shall ever be able to disturb-a covenant as old as eternity and as everlasting as the Rock of ages.
They rejoice also to feast upon the fulness of this covenant, for they see in it all things provided for them. 
God is their portion, Christ their companion, the Spirit their Comforter, earth their lodge, and heaven their home. 
They see in it an inheritance reserved to every soul possessing an interest in its ancient and eternal deed of gift. 
Their eyes sparkled when they saw it as a treasure-trove in the Bible; but oh! how their souls were gladdened when they saw in the last will and testament of their divine kinsman, that it was given to them! 
More especially it is the pleasure of God's people to contemplate the graciousness of this covenant. 
They see that the law was made void because it was a covenant of works and depended upon merit, 
but this they perceive to be enduring because grace is the basis, 
grace the condition, 
grace the strain, 
grace the protection, 
grace the foundation, 
grace the top stone.  “And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:” Mark 12:10
The covenant is a treasury of wealth, 
a granary of food, 
a fountain of life, 
a storehouse of salvation, 
a charter of peace, 
and a haven of joy.
