Jeremiah 31: 32, “‘Not like the covenant which I made with
their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land
of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,’
declares the Lord.”
My covenant,
Not a word we often use between ourselves. Not a word that
is easily understood or explained.
And yet a word we break so many times because of ignorance,
or disobedience, or false interpretation.
Yet still a promise—a foundation—a rescue as the Lord
personally continues to rescue us from our captivities.
His committed gift of life.
And yet we still look back too often into our failures and
fears and ignore the promise of light and life ahead. Each day now can be built
on His word. His power. His purpose.
His covenant.
Now an ongoing claim of mercy from His hands. Through His
gift we can begin to live daily in faith and obedience. Because He is holding
on to each of us.
Lord, please show us how to truly leave our version of Egypt
behind and not look back in fear, but now with our vision and our hearts facing
forward, trusting You to guide us into trustworthy actions and attitudes.
Your thoughts,
