He Remembers His Covenant Forever?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you remember your covenant forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.
God made a promise to Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham. The promise involved land.
Genesis 12:6-7 (ESV) says, “Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.”
Psalm 105:7-11 (ESV)
“He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
He remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
saying, ’To you I will give the land of Canaan
as your portion for an inheritance.’”
From these verses we see God’s promise was fulfilled. Ever doubt God? Stop and reflect. Although it took generations for the offspring to inhabit the land, God was faithful. Trust God, for he is faithful!
