I will give you the sure mercies of David. - Acts 13:34

The mercies of David are SUITED to a sinner’s wants; they comprise all he needs for time, for body and soul; and all he will need through eternity.

The mercies of David are COVENANT mercies; the Father has engaged to bestow them through the doing and dying of Jesus; the Son has secured their bestowment by His vicarious sufferings and death; and the Holy Spirit will put the Lord’s people in possession of them.

They all flow from free grace, are revealed in the promises, and are stored up in the fullness of Christ. The mercies of David are SURE mercies; they are unconditionally promised to all comers; are received by simple faith; and are bestowed by Jesus as the appointed trustee and administrator of the covenant of grace.

They are sure, for God has sworn, and will not change His mind, or remove His covenant of reconciliation. The mercies of David are GIVEN mercies; no desert is requisite to establish a claim; no hard conditions are laid down to entitle; no price is fixed, or money demanded : but it is, "Come and receive freely."

Thy favours, Lord, surprise our souls;

Wilt Thou indulge Thy creatures thus?

The stream of full salvation rolls,

To strengthen, cheer, and comfort us;

How rich the grace! how kind the word!

All praise and glory to the Lord!
