Covenant for Keeps

Read Exodus 24:1–11

Have you ever broken a promise? Many people today have a problem keeping their word. They see it as nothing to break a promise or just forget what they said they would do. What should be the most binding promise, marriage, is left behind with barely a thought.

Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words” (Exodus 24:8).

People break their word even when they have given it to God. This is sin. However, sinning does not remove you from the covenant. You cannot lose your place by making mistakes, but you can choose to leave.

On the other hand, even though we break promises, God does not. He never breaks His Word. Things don’t even slip His mind. What God says stands firm. God never does anything to mar a covenant. Once you join with God in a covenant, you will be in the covenant for as long as you want to be. God will not toss you aside.

Thought for Today: God never breaks His side of a covenant.

Prayer is our link with God, an awesome avenue through which we can express praise and adoration to Him for His goodness, love, and mercy; and an avenue through which we can voice our petitions and concerns. God's Word assures us that we can "come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Prayer also moves the hand of God on behalf of needs and circumstances in our church, our families, our community, nation, and world. Take time to pray and intercede for these areas as God leads you. Become part of a prayer group and intercede with others in times of corporate prayer. As you seek God's help, expect reports of great victory to follow as God answers prayer.
