Covenant

As we follow Abram’s path to covenant with God we see that God reached for Abram while he was an alien in the land of Canaan. Abram and Sarai were determined by God to be the people upon whom God would build posterity. Abram did exactly what God said. In a word Abram was obedient. Are we obedient as Abram was obedient? Would we do what Abram did? In response to Abram’s obedience God granted Abram and his heirs the land where they lived and God said that He would be their God. Abram began the hard work and his heirs were expected to keep the covenant made with God, “And I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are now an alien, all the land of Canaan, for a perpetual holding; and I will be their God.” (Genesis 17:8) We are also heirs of Abram and are therefore bound to keep the covenant. How are we doing? What do we do each day to honor and love God and help one another keep covenant?

Prayer: God of Abraham, Creator of all - we thank you for being our God. Please guide us through this day in our covenant with you and with one another. Strengthen us for your Holy purpose, guide us in your Holy Way, and chase Satan from our doors and our paths. We need you Father, we love you Father and we seek you Father for in the midst of all the chaos there is you – for you alone are God. In Jesus Name we pray. AMEN!
