Wednesday is for One Year
2 Chronicles 21:6-7
“And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughters of Ahab was his wife. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD. Yet the LORD was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and since he had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.”
I have little to say today, except I am overwhelmingly thankful that God keeps his promises. Here are a few verses of my favorite hymns. It is by Charles Wesley.
Depth of mercy! Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear,
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face,
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.
I have spilt His precious blood,
Trampled on the Son of God,
Filled with pangs unspeakable,
I, who yet am not in hell!
Why am I not in hell? Because God kept his covenant to David.

just ponder this for a month. You should read it by then. Apologies to those that got a real shock and thought you were 2 books behind. By mistake I have been reading July this week.
