Covenant

TODAY’S VERSE
But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: “I will put my laws in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
Hebrews 8:10, 12 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
We get married and say, “For better or for worse.” We buy a house and sign a loan agreement. We get bids on a job and award a contract. We accept a job for an agreed-upon salary. We live much of our life with promises, contracts, pledges, and covenants. How difficult is it when one of them is broken? Doesn’t it play havoc with our life? That is why I find it fascinating that God has made a covenant with us. Who are we that God would make us a promise? And yet, what a promise He has made. And what I love the best is God does not break His promises. In today’s passage, God says He is making a covenant with us. The Lord promises to make us His people by working in our hearts and minds. He promises to be our God. And then He removes the one hindrance toward fulfilling the covenant, our sins. Yes, our sins would have breached our relationship. Our sins separate us from God, but by His mercy and grace, He even takes care of that! He promises to forgive all our wrongdoings! He makes a covenant with you and me to forgive our wickedness absolutely and to never, never, not ever remember any of our sins. How great is that? How awesome! Only God could make a promise like that! Only God can keep it. Today, take God at His word and confess all your sins to Him. Accept His unconditional love for you. Accept His forgiveness for all your wrongdoing.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, thank You for Your precious promises. Thank You for promising never to remember any of my sins. I come to You today for total forgiveness and freedom.
AMEN
