OUR COVENANT WITH GOD

Abram accepted the covenant God offered him, "I Am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless. I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers." Abram fell face-down, and God said to him, "As for me, this is my covenant with you: you will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram: your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations." (Genesis 17:1-5).

Like Abraham, we also have a covenant with God; we are asked by God to "walk before Him" loving one another as He has loved us. When we are in covenant with God, we humbly submit ourselves, innocent from self-centered interest, to obey His commands to love our God with all of our being, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Fulfilling the covenant with God, Abraham received the blessing of familial prosperity. God's desire is to grant prosperity to each of our lives. Are we faithful in our love of God and each other?

Good Lord’s Day to you, Gulf. How are you fixed weather wise? We got 10” of snow over Christmas Day, and now the temps are going down. It is 5 degrees right now.

Over forty years ago, I audited a night course at a local junior college. For several nights, one of the side blackboards had a profound statement written on it -- apparently left by a daytime religion or philosophy class:

"Covenant: an agreement wherein God bestows a blessing -- and Man assumes an obligation."

It is the only thing I retained from that night class. Apparently the Lord sent me there for that exact lesson...

Kathy, I spent Christmas/Hanukkah/Birthday with my grandaughters in CA. Thank you for posting the Star of David, and the Hanukkah lights and pictures, honoring our Jewish troops!

LaurenMarlowe, thank you for the great song collection! (Esp. the USMC Band, since my hubby was a proud Marine!)

And, Brad’s Gramma, you always have the perfect words for us all!

The New Year is just around the corner - everybody ready?

[luvie]

Ready!

Good to see you again. So happy that you had a good time!

Very appropriate this day, as the Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors of the Israeli Defense Forces do battle with our common enemy.
