A PERSONAL COVENANT

Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 21-24

"Then Jehoida made a covenant between himself and the king and the people that they would be the Lord's people." 2 Chronicles 23:16 NLT

A covenant is a binding contract between two parties. In biblical terms, it's a binding contract between God and his people that establishes a relationship, sets conditions and promises blessings..

In covenants between us and God, let's be honest--God has the heavier role to play.

While we can agree to walk with Him, talk with Him, depend on Him and trust in Him, it's still all up to Him to do the blessing.

He is the reward center of our covenantal relationship.

Have you made a covenant with God?

Have you bowed your head, spent some time, prayerfully considered stepping into a relationship with Him that will honor the conditions He has set forth?

An actual covenant you take seriously? Make an effort? Sacrifice in order to carry out your end of the pact?

We never have to worry about Him being able to hold up His end--we're the weak link!
