TODAY’S TOPIC: My Covenant keeping God
Text: Deuteronomy 5:1-10 (NIV):
"5:1. Moses summoned all Israel and said: Hear, O Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them.
5:2. The LORD our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
5:3. It was not with our fathers that the LORD made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today.
5:4. The LORD spoke to you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.
5:5. (At that time I stood between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:
5:6. "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.5:7. "You shall have no other gods before me.
5:8. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
5:9. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,5:10. but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Our God is a covenant keeping God. Covenant is a sacred or revered agreement between two people; man and man or woman and woman (for business purposes), man and woman (marriage) or God and man. It is usually done in the presence of a third party who acts as witness, interpreter, reminder or whatever. It gives direction, stipulates rules and regulations, among other benefits. Once it is binding, the parties are supposed to enjoy each other. Today, God is reminding us of His covenant with us. To serve Him alone as God in truth and honesty. If you do that, He will bless you enormously. If you don't, problems, condemnations and failures follow. So, what is your covenant with God? The year is coming to an end. Have you achieved your sets goals and objectives? If not, think and make an amend by keeping to your covenant with Him.
