Make A Covenant with God

Scripture 2 Chron 34:31 Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to follow the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.

Observation: To make a covenant with God because it seems to be the right thing to do is worth nothing if you don’t do it with all your heart mind and soul. You make a covenant with God because you love, fear Him and desire to please Him and fulfill the purpose He has created you for. We must follow God’s law. Not just some of it, but all of it. This is God’s direction for our life, the path that will keep us safe and if we decide to stray from it we can’t expect God to protect us any longer.

Application: I need to make a covenant with my Lord that I will keep all of His word, because I love Him and want to please Him. I can’t pick and choose what commands I want to keep and which ones I don’t. I need to stand on His promises and trust Him with all of my heart, mind and soul that His will would be done in my life from now on.

Prayer: My Lord I freely give you this life as a living sacrifice may it be Holy and pleasing to you. I love you Lord and I want to please you and I make a covenant with you today that I will keep your laws and draw closer to you.
