Mercy and justice — 1 John 1

Now I understand why — it's a daily declaration of dependence on God.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. What a reminder that God's ways are not our ways. It implies covenant loyalty, steadfast love that never wavers.. The imagery here is agricultural — the original audience would have immediately understood the metaphor of sowing, waiting, and harvesting.. The promise here is not conditional on our strength but on His character.. God is faithful in every circumstance.. Reading the Psalms
