Understanding the Subject of the Covenant

DAY 20 OF 31

THE COVENANT ASSURES YOU THAT YOU ARE NEVER ALONE

There is love beyond this world; that is covenant love. The love we have for each other has a reason; it is a "because of" love – "I love him because he is my son." But this covenant of love is a love “in spite of.” It is a love of the will. Human love is a love of emotions, while covenant love is a decision. The reason you think you are alone or stranded is that the Covenant of God's love for you has not gripped your heart.

I don't know if you have read this poem which some people have in their homes: Footprints on the sands of time. I like that poem: Somebody had a dream and saw two sets of footprints on the seashore, and the Lord said, "Those were times that you and I were walking together." At one point, there was only one set of footprints, and the person jumped to a conclusion and said, "It means that those times when there was only one set of footprints, you abandoned me." And God said, "No, those were the times that I was carrying you."

Do you know that God will carry you when it seems you are alone in that situation? There were times when you didn't think you were going to make it. How did you make it? He carried you! It is part of His Covenant to carry us when we can't move by ourselves, but you must have that understanding.

Prayer: Lord, I believe in your covenant promise for me that you will never leave me nor forsake me. I will never be stranded in life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

About this Plan

Understanding the Subject of the Covenant

When individuals embrace the light and experience spiritual rebirth, a covenant is forged between us and God. The path of faith is not a solitary one; God is deeply invested in the journey, growth, and breakthrough of every believer because of the covenant. This devotional will explore reasons why understanding this covenant is pivotal for cultivating a stronger bond, akin to a father-child relationship, between you and God.
