The ‘New and better Covenant!’
Not according to the (old) covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in My covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 8:9 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Notice what God says right off the bat; “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers!” (The Old Covenant!) Oh, but God said that His New Covenant, this covenant that we have today, this New Testament confirmed by the Blood of Jesus and His death on the Cross, His burial, and His resurrection unto the Father, shall not be like the old one that I (God) made with their fathers. No, this shall be a better covenant, founded on better promises. Imagine that, a better covenant than the old one with better promises and yet many of us still disregard this “New” covenant with God, and try to live from the ‘Old’! Many of us still want to do our own thing, our own way, instead of letting God, through Jesus, lead and guide us. When, if we would just harken (listen to and heed the Word of God) unto the Lord and keep our part of the covenant that we have with God, we would be blessed beyond our wildest dreams! We would be loaded daily with benefits from God. But that would mean we would have to be obedient to God’s Word. Because a covenant requires action by both parties involved. And God requires obedience to His Word for Him to keep his part. Are you missing out on God’s blessings? Check your obedience to His Word!
Are you living in the ‘New and better Covenant’ or are you still living in the “OLD?”
MY PRAYER…
Father, I thank You for Your Holy Word and Your covenant of promises. Father I ask that You help us to understand the depth, breadth, length, and the width of this new covenant that You have made with us. Help us to understand and see what could be ours if we would just keep Your covenant. Father I pray in the name of Jesus that the eyes of our understanding be opened and that we be filled with the knowledge of Your will and with all understanding of what You have promised us.
In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
