John Piper on Covenant Faithfulness - Reformed (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Source: John Piper47 words

"'His mercies never cease'—this is covenant faithfulness. God binds Himself by promise; His character guarantees continuity. Morning by morning, new mercies—not because we deserve them but because He determined to give them. Great is His faithfulness because great is His commitment." — John Piper. Reformed: covenant mercy.
