Psalm 101:1
“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O Lord, will I sing”— Psalm 101:11<<A Psalm of David.>> I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing. (Psalm 101:1).
ALL God’s ways with His people will eventually work out for blessing. Whether it be His mercies which are new every morning, or His disciplinary dealings against which we often complain, all are for our good. Therefore we may well heed the admonition, “In everything give thanks.” There is no such thing as “bad luck” for the child of God. All is ordered by a loving Father’s hand and the experiences which seem the hardest to understand and the most distressing to endure, are under the control of Him who makes no mistakes but orders all for His glory and our profit.
“With mercy and with Judgment
My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustred with His love,
I’ll bless the Hand that guided,
I’ll bless the Heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel’s land.”
