Bible Reading: Job 5; Hebrews 8:8-13
“´… Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah” –Hebrews 8:8 (KJV)
Because of the failure of the old covenant which God made with the forefathers of the people of Israel, God promised a better covenant. Due to the weakness of the human flesh the law could not make them righteous enough to be acceptable to God. This weakness of human flesh made God send His only begotten son in the human flesh to die for our sins and to make us acceptable to the holy Almighty God.
The people of old failed to continue in the covenant God made with them and this made God to disregard them. Never get to a level where you will be disregarded by God, it has devastating effect no matter who you are. Have you ever asked for this covenant which God is interested in making with Israel? It is no other than to put His laws in their heart.
When the heart of a man is filled with the word of God, he will not stumble in this dark world. Do you take adequate time to write his eternal word in your heart on daily basis through diligent study and meditation? All that you should know have been made available by God.
When you draw closer to Him and make Him your God, He will be merciful to your unrighteousness and shall do away completely with your iniquities. You are encouraged never to let this opportunity pass you by, as our Saviour and Master, Jesus Christ, who ushered in the new covenant is ever ready to receive you to Him even now!
Prayer Point: O God, help me to know and trust in the New Covenant established with the blood of Jesus as the only means that will see me through to final salvation.
