Listen to what David said in his last inspired words: “Although my house be not so with God, yet He hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although He make it not to grow.” (2 Samuel 23:5) Mark these two words and may God seal them home to your hearts with saving and precious power. ALTHOUGH- describes what my house and I are in ourselves. YET- that shows forth the unchanging and the unalterable love and affection of a covenant God for His people. He reveals His salvation in a well-ordered covenant: a covenant in which that salvation is performed for that people by the Son and performed in them by God the Ever-blessed Spirit.
