Covenant
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Luke 22:19-20
Pact, arrangement and promise all synonymous with the word Covenant. Have you taken any time this week to think about a promise or deal you have made recently. Did you follow through with that promise, or did your life get too busy to follow through. We all have commitments we make and sometimes we cannot follow through on them which could have a real impact on the relationship we have with others. Take a look at this scripture and notice the covenant God has made with us, one that will not be broken, one that He will not go back on. When we make our promises or deals with people, maybe we should model these after God's covenant and not go back on these. If we followed through like God has with His covenant, maybe our relationships would be stronger. If our relationship with God is stronger in remembering His covenant, our lives would more focused on those promises and less on ourselves.
Have a great weekend.
