The Unconditional Promise

 

Today's verse is 2 Chronicles 21:7

Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever. 

    The King of Judah had forsaken the commandment of God. Yet God had made a promise to David his father, and we have affirmed here, that God will not break his Word. Consider, if you will a couple of promises we have from God, if we be his. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: /And he delighteth in his way. /Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: /For the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. And again Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. But yet, even as this King transgressed, even after the sin of the northern Kingdom Israel, so discipline was required, and so we have this warning: There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. Do you have that sure foundation? When you are tried, will you have anything on that foundation that remains? Amen.

To God be the Glory
