God's people find joy in the covenant itself, a constant source of comfort as the Holy Spirit draws them into communion with God under its banner of love. They reflect on how, long before the world began, their place in Christ was secure. They take comfort in the covenant's certainty, embracing "the sure mercies of David." It fills them with joy to know its unchanging nature, a covenant that time and eternity cannot break.

They celebrate the abundance of this covenant, seeing that it provides all they need. God is their portion, Christ walks with them, the Spirit comforts them. Earth is their temporary home, and heaven awaits them. When they first discover it in the Bible, it shines like a treasure. Yet their hearts truly soar when they realize it is a gift from their divine kinsman. They delight in its grace, knowing it endures not because of works, but because it's founded on grace. The covenant is a storehouse of wealth and salvation, a fountain of life, a charter of peace, and a haven of joy.
