It includes the phrase, “…faithful God who keeps his merciful covenant…”
Merciful.
God’s covenant is merciful.
Of course it is–what else would it be? But I hadn’t thought about it in those terms before! God wants what’s good for us, because He loves us. And that’s what mercy is all about: wanting the good for others.
Today, may we be a sign of mercy in the world in which God has placed us.
