DIVINE COVENANTS – MORE THAN PROMISES

Good Morning!

     At this beginning of another 2017 week, we all need to walk onwards knowing who we are and what our purposes in our circumstances may be.

THIS IS MINE! - Copy (2)

I found the image above when I was researching about covenants.   The dictionary definition of Divine Covenant…. this agreement is between the Divine and mortals sealed with a ‘sign’ and is meant to be eternal unless one party breaks the oath of ALLEGIANCE.

The Rainbow is such a covenant.    It is more than about no more rain upon the earth ie in Genesis –    It is a God sign.

God is Love.    He loves all people. (even the ones who choose not to be in a Covenant relationship with the Saviour.)   Christ said….‘Follow Me’.    Salvation is a covenant sealed in blood.

A Covenant relationship is therefore conditional upon a two-way commitment. (in the case of Holy Matrimony (when a man and a woman vow to have a covenant relationship with each other and with God only then is it a covenantal relationship in its fullest sense).     God must be the highest LOVE or there is no covenant.    Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul and ‘others’ as yourself.

Think on this……I may not be right….but it has always seemed to me that the rainbow stretching across the sky from extremity to extremity  is like an embrace.   It represents to me with all its colours – like the colours of life – DIVINE LOVE – GRACE AND LOVE.            Without Grace on this earth or the Hand of God embracing the world………is that the end?  Is that when HIS KINGDOM WILL COME?

Just a thought!

Let’s all journey this week.        Our Goal Loving HIM……….Loving the world around us.                                          Let the  ones fighting and striving to exercise their ‘free’ will enjoy this life………Covenant people live now and live in the Hope of ETERNITY as well.

Peace and Grace to you!.

 

About Faye

I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions. I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.

    God must be the highest LOVE or there is no covenant. Such a warming thought…to know God is our most cherished love only enhances all other ‘loves’ we are blessed to have. Your words are always such a soft kiss on the check…
