"Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy to a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments" Deuteronomy 7:9
What comes to your mind when you think of the word covenant?
If you thought agreement, then you are correct. Our God is a covenant keeping God. The scripture tells us that he will keep his word of agreement and extend his mercy to a thousand generations to those that love him and keep his commandments.
The terms of the agreement is simply, love the Lord your God and keep his commandments by walking in full obedience. Now, this is not easy for the flesh but God desires that we walk in the spirit so we are not ruled by our desires. If we focus on what God desires for us, we will find that walking in obedience is not as difficult when there is no opposition.
The benefit of this agreement is limitless, there is nothing that God will withhold from those who honor and obey him in spirit and in truth. Which is why it is extremely important to protect your covenant with the Lord. When we decide to present ourselves as a living sacrifice unto the Lord as our reasonable service, we are able to submit to his command. We have to pay close attention to the "things" that threatens our covenant relationship with the Lord. Submission to God and his word positions us to gain access and opportunities that are sustainable through him.
The blessing of the Lord will always fall on those who choose to remain in him and refuse the temptation of turning to any other source. As we consider God's faithfulness in our lives, may we look to his proven track record of always showing up on time. No matter the circumstance, God has kept his covenant of being merciful, faithful and loving.
Take a moment and think about how you can honor your covenant with the Lord this week!
