PROMISE FOR APRIL 30TH

"The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant." Psalm 25:14

This is stated as though it were a very important matter to see or clearly understand God's Covenant: and it is an important matter, for God's Covenant is really the key to the entire Divine Plan. What God promised to Abraham in the Covenant, "In thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed," included directly and indirectly all the riches of Divine grace.... With our eyes anointed, and our hearts fully consecrated to the LORD and fully desirous to know just what is His will and His way, we look at the great Covenant, and behold, it opens gloriously before us into three parts: (1) All the families of the earth--every member of the human family is to receive a blessing. (2) The Seed of Abraham, is to be the channel of these Divine blessings to every creature. (3) This Seed in its primary sense we find meant our Lord Jesus Christ; but in its secondary sense it includes the "Bride the Lamb's Wife", his joint-heir in this Covenant and in all of the Divine mercies.
