Our God Keeps His Word

Scripture 2 Chron 21:7 Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

Observation: I have no idea how God can keep His word when all we do is evil in His sight. When God makes a covenant with us He always keeps His word, but most time His promises are based if we are going to do what He calls us to do. Here God made a covenant with David and as much as the Israelites deserved total destruction God holds back and remembers the covenant He made. God must have made a promise to me and I didn’t even know it. He wouldn’t let me be destroyed, though I totally deserved it. God had a plan for this life and He was going to see it through to the end.

Application: I need to remember each day that I belong to God and this life I’m living belongs to Him. He is worthy of all of my praise, love and obedience and I need to give it to Him each day. God needs to be the most important thing in my life and that includes me. I need to make this life a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to my Lord.

Prayer: Dear Lord I’m weak and I’m a sinner and don’t deserve your mercy or grace. I thank you that you offer it to this unworthy servant and help me make this life a sacrifice that will honor you.
