Reading: 2 Chronicles 6:14
O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth – you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.Reflection:
We
all know what it is like when someone gives us their word about something and
then does not keep it. There are so many people who live behind a brave
face. So many who disguise their broken heart because a promise has been
broken. We are all feeble and frail, and we battle to overcome the
temptations that beset us. We are lured away by things and people and we
leave a path of destruction behind us. So many marriages end up in the
courts because one or both could not keep their promises that they made
publically. When we have been betrayed, we see the
world through those spectacles, and we think that all are the same, and then we
transfer these human emotions to God.
God
will always keep His promises. There is no one like Him. We
are sometimes tempted to compare God to ourselves. But, God is not a man
that He should lie. He keeps His promises and He is faithful to His
word. God makes us so many promises in the Bible, and He keep every
one of them without exception.
He
is looking for those who obey Him and want to do His will. He searches
earth to find those who are willing to do His will and obey Him in all things,
and as we do what He tells us to do, He will make a way. There is nothing
that God cannot do, and He is willing to do it for us, if only we will obey
Him, and be anxious to do His will in all that we do.
Are
you willing to try to obey God today?
Breath-prayer:
Lord,
thank You for Your faithfulness towards me. It is my desire to do what You
would have me do in this new week. Help me to do what pleases You. Amen.
