February 14
Psalm 32:10
"He who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about."
O FAIR reward of trust! My Lord, grant it me to the full! The truster above all men feels himself to be a sinner; and lo, mercy is prepared for him: he knows himself to have no deservings, but mercy comes in, and keeps house for him on a liberal scale. O Lord, give me this mercy, even as I trust in you!
Observe, my soul, what a body-guard you have! As a prince is compassed about with soldiery, so are you compassed about with mercy. Before and behind, and on all sides, ride these mounted guards of grace. We dwell in the center of the system of mercy, for we dwell in Christ Jesus.
O my soul, what an atmosphere do you breathe! As the air surrounds you, even so does the mercy of your Lord. To the wicked there are many sorrows, but to you there are so many mercies that your sorrows are not worth mentioning. David says, "Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart." In obedience to this precept my heart shall triumph in God, and I will tell out my gladness. As you have compassed me with mercy, I will also compass your altars, O my God, with songs of thanksgiving!
