Isaiah 54:10 "For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken." says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
When we give our lives to Jesus we come under the wonderful covenant of blessing from God. Nothing can change it or break it, because it's forever. We may have thought that we've made too many mistakes, we don't deserve it or we've done something to stop it, or that God is still disappointed in us, so how can He bless us? But those thoughts are definitely not from God! I just want to remind us today that the fact is, the covenant of blessing comes to us through what Jesus did on the cross. It doesn't depend on our performance or lack of it at all, thank God.
Maybe we've gone the other way and thought "I don't deserve this distress. What have I ever done to deserve this trouble I'm in. I've been faithful, I've been good, etc." We need to understand, that we can't earn the blessing, but that it comes on us because of Jesus, and God's kindness and grace to us, or we'll get confused.
If you've been thinking either way please let me remind us all that God gives us His blessing freely in Christ and all we have to do is receive it by faith. (Ephesians 3:1)
We are blessed beyond measure and we just need our eyes opening to see it and receive it more and more.
Romans 5:17 ...much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One Christ Jesus.
So regardless of how things look or feel, let's lift our hands up to God in faith today and do some receiving, just thank Him for it - we surely need it.😊
