Covenant Keeping God

Covenant Keeping God     

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10

In response to God’s work in our hearts, we are called to share the wonders of His promises with a world in desperate need of Him. We often quote scripture, saying something like, ‘With God, all things are possible’, and that is because He is a covenant keeping God. It is completely impossible for Father God to break any covenant that He has made with His children.

We know, once God has made a covenant promise, He is bound to fulfil it.

Here are some examples of these promises shared with us through God’s Word:

God did not back out of His covenant promise made to Noah that He would never again flood the earth to destroy all flesh. After the rain, we see the sign of this promise in the form of a rainbow all the time.

God did not break His covenant promise to Abraham that He would give to his descendants the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, a promise repeated to his son Isaac and grandson Jacob.

God could not rescind the covenant terms of the Ten Commandments given to Moses.

In this otherwise fickle world, what a precious place of certainty and confidence we can have in this fact of His unwavering faithfulness.

Prayer for today: Father God, both Your Word and the record of history clearly tell us that You are a covenant keeper, despite the undependable nature of man. Thank You that we have this wonderful anchor for our lives. Amen.
