"And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I
made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land
which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my
covenant with you."  (Judges 2:1)

Today's Thought

A covenant between God and man is a binding contract, it is a promise,
a divine ordinance, an alliance, a pledge. When the Lord took us to be
His peculiar people, it was never His intention to cast us away.
Rather His intentions were that we should find Him unchangeably
constant to us. He told us plainly that the covenant He entered into
with us would NEVER be broken by Him . . . it was forever!

He loves us with an everlasting love . . . His mercies endure forever
. . . He's the same yesterday, today, and forever . . . in Him there
is no variableness or changing . . . He will never leave us nor
forsake us . . . His love toward us is perfect . . .

When you feel all alone, when you're going through that that valley,
when the clouds seem to engulf you, remember His Words . . . "I will
never break My covenant with you." We serve an awesome God, for sure!

Today's Prayer

Many times, Lord, I find myself questioning Your love for me when I'm
going through a deep valley and when circumstances in life seem to
overwhelm me. Help me remember that You are the One on Whom I can
depend regardless of any situation or circumstance I may face.
Finally, Lord, thank You for Your ageless and unchangeable promise
that You will never break Your covenant with me!

Have a blessed day!
