22. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25. The LORD is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so there may be hope.
30. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31. For the LORD will not cast off forever.
32. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitudes of his mercies.
33. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
34. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36. To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
What a God we serve!

Riding in High Places
Isaiah 58:13,14
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, holy of the LORD, honourable ; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Truly, sweet are the promises of God to those who honor that which is his! When we delight in the LORD, and do his sweet will in his own perfect time and way, the blessings tthat he promises, and gives, defy the imagination! He gives to us based on the merit of Christ, and his merit is so vast and glorious that it also defies the imagination of a mortal!
LORD, WHAT IS MAN THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM ?! And yet, we have the assurance that "the LORD taketh pleasure in his people. Praise God for his tender mercies which are new every morning!
