14. For this God is our God for ever and ever. A good reason for preserving a record of all that he has wrought.
Israel will not change her God so as to wish to forget, nor will the Lord
change so as to make the past mere history. He will be the covenant God of his
people world without end. There is no other God; we wish for no other. There
are some who are so ready to comfort the wicked that for the sake of ending
their punishment they make for ever and ever mean but a time;
nevertheless, we exult in the hope of an eternity of bliss. He will be our guide even unto death. Throughout life he will graciously conduct us, and
even after death he will lead us to the living fountains of waters. We look to
him for resurrection and eternal life. This consolation is clearly derivable
from what has gone before; hitherto our foes have been scattered, and our
bulwarks have defied attack, for God has been in our midst; therefore all
possible assault in the future will be equally futile.
