God Made a Covenant with Us

Responses to God's Faithfulness

God is Faithful

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

Obedient Faith

Deuteronomy 5:1-7 New International Version
5 Moses summoned all Israel and said:
Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them.2 The Lord, our God, made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our ancestors[a] that the Lord made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today. 4 The Lord spoke to you face to face out of the fire on the mountain. 5 (At that time, I stood between the Lord and you to declare to you the word of the Lord, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:
6 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
7 “You shall have no other gods before[b] me.

For Reflection

God made a covenant with the Hebrews that has lasted throughout generations. God also made a covenant with all of humanity. The promise of peace and eternal satisfaction that displaces self-reliance and idolatry is now available to all who see beyond the human condition and hear the teachings of Christ.

Pray
Pray so that you will see what others cannot see and hear what others whose self-perceptions inhibit. Pray so that you will set your sight on the eternal promise of peace and harmony with the Creation.
