The Covenant Keeping God

“Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.” Psalm 74:20.

The world can be dark, uncertain, and even cruel, but we are not left to despair. We have a solid ground to stand on: the covenant of God.

The psalmist, surrounded by destruction and injustice, didn’t appeal to emotion or effort, he appealed to the covenant. He said, “Lord, have respect to the covenant.”

God is a covenant-making and covenant-keeping God. His covenant is His bond, His guarantee, His unchanging promise backed by His very nature. When God enters a covenant, He binds Himself to fulfill it, not because we are worthy, but because He is faithful.

From Noah to Abraham, from Israel to the New Covenant in Christ, God has always worked through covenants, sacred, binding agreements that release blessing, protection, provision, and destiny.

The blood of Jesus has sealed an everlasting covenant for us. In this covenant is:
– Forgiveness for sin
– Healing for sickness
– Provision for lack
– Peace in chaos
– Strength in weakness
– Victory over darkness

When life feels like it’s falling apart, cry out like the psalmist, not in fear, but in bold covenantal faith

“Lord, have respect to the covenant!”

Even when men forget, God never forgets His covenant. Heaven and earth may pass away, but His Word remain. Covenants carry weight, spiritual, legal, and eternal. And our God honors covenant.

Lord, I thank You for You are a covenant-keeping God.
