For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. Isaiah 54:10
How does knowing that God is compassionate make the promise of this verse all the more meaningful? One of the sad realities of living is the loss of people from our life. People that we love die. Friends move away—sometimes not only physically but relationally. Nothing seems to last. In this precious verse God assures us that we can count on something to last. Never to depart. Never removed. More sure than the ancient Rocky mountains, Alps, or Himalayas. Something that will not change at last!
