The Covenant
Though we may fall short when trying to obey the Law by our own strength, the Lord gives us the grace to obey Him. This grace comes by the Holy Spirit whom He has given to live in us. God not only makes the covenant when we have nothing to offer in return, He also gives us what He expects from us in return. If we love Him enough to want to obey Him, He will give us the provision so that we can walk in obedience. When we agree to this covenant with Him, He gives us all things that are His, making us His own children. For all of eternity, there will never again be a transaction, a deal, or an opportunity like this one!
Let us show our love and appreciation by obeying the Spirit that He has given to live in us. All that He asks is that we love Him and love one another. How could we not love the One who is the most glorious, generous, lovable Being there is? How can we not give ourselves fully to pleasing Him in all things?
- Ask the Holy Spirit to keep you focused on the goodness of the Lord.
- As you cultivate a thankful disposition, then you will magnify Him, and make Him greater than any challenge that you may be facing in this season. Rom 1.21, Heb 12.28, Col 2.7, 3.15-16, 4.2; Psalm 100, 1 Thess 5.18
