Keeping God’s Covenant

Scripture Deut 29:9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

Observation: God has made a covenant with me through His son. He has promised me eternal life and expects me to live a life that is Holy and pleasing to Him, bearing fruit with the gifts He has given me, preaching the gospel and loving and serving others. God always keeps His word, but I am far from being that faithful. Most of my days are not serving God, but serving myself my desires. My love for my Lord should be so deep that keeping my part of the covenant should be an easy task, but I’m a sinner and selfish and need the Lord’s help to keep His covenant with Him.

Application: Remember my covenant with God and God doesn’t take it lightly and is very serious about it. To think before I do to make sure I’m on the path God has chosen for me. It takes work because it is against my sinful nature so I need to try much harder and I need to be intense on serving Him. I’m coming to the end of the race and I need to be focused on the finish line, my eternal home with my Lord.

Prayer: My Lord help me keep my end of this covenant. Strengthen me and give me purpose, you know my heart and desire to serve you, but you also know how lazy and self-centered I am. Fill me with the Holy Spirit and guide me on this journey I’m on to keep this covenant which you have blessed me with.
