Getting Into You
Thursday, October 16, 2008
Covenant, meaning a solemn contract, oath, or bond, is the customary word used to translate the Hebrew word
berith, as it is used in the Hebrew Bible.
(Wikipedia)A Covenant is:
(Dictionary.com)1. (In Biblical context) God's promise to His people
2. An agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not do something specified
3. (Verb) To enter into covenant
4. (Verb) To promise by covenant; pledge
5. (Verb) To stipulate
Simply put, a covenant is an agreement and a promise.
How often do you break your promises? Everyone does so, there's no need to deny it. We're not perfect, we change our minds and our beliefs, or we simply just forget. A promise to our friends, family, or ourselves. And when they are broken, all kinds of excuses come tumbling out:
It wasn't really a promise... It was an unspoken agreement... It's just a small matter... They won't remember it either...God remembers every covenant, especially those we make with Him. Call it what you want; a commitment, a pledge, a vow, it doesn't matter. Think about it.
I would rather not lie to you
My disappointment is acute
Consequences must be faced
One decision changes things
It's not a fantasy world
No one said it would be easy
You say it's not wrong
But can you call it holy
When I made up my mind
And my heart along with that
To live not for myself
But yet for God
Somebody said
Do you know what you are getting yourself into?
You have been my comfort, Lord
You said I love you and that's what you're getting into
