well, my intention was to write what the covenant with God would consist of... but as I start looking it up... there are different ones for different people... that was a problem for me... because if our promises from God are backed by the bible, how are we supposed to know which one is for us?
with Abraham... God promises to multiply him as the sands of the sea or the stars of the sky...
with Noah... God promises to never again flood the earth and destroy everything...
with Jacob... God promises to give him the ground he was sleeping on, to make his descendents as the dust of the ground stretching from east to west and north to south, He promises to stay with them, to bless them and to protect them...
with the children of Israel... God promises to bless the people their livestock their going in and going out their land, He promises to defeat their enemies, to keep them a holy people seperated unto God, to lavish good things on them.
with David... God promises to keep his heir on the throne... to be a father to his descendents, to discipline them, to never remove His love from them, to keep His eye upon them..
the covenant with the children of Israel was dependent upon them keeping the laws and commandments that God gave them about how to live holy and upright...
I believe that God speaks promises into each of our hearts... I believe that He gives all of us the opportunity to have close and personal relationship with Him... I believe what He's told me for my own life... I pray that you will find out what God's will is for your life and hold strong to the promises He places in your spirit...
