"All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant." (Ps 25:10 NIV)
No covenant is without requirements. Expecting to benefit from God's covenant without meeting the requirements of the covenant, is like expecting a paycheck at the end of the week without having done any work! While God lovingly and graciously shoulders the weight of the covenant He has extended to us, there yet remains a simple requirement for us; Obedience! God has demonstrated His faithfulness in fulfilling His part of the covenant, now, it's up to us to fulfill ours!
Prayer: Lord, you are faithful in all things that pertain to your covenant. As we enjoy the benefits of your covenant let us be equally as faithful in fulling your requirement of obedience. Amen!
Ps 103:17-18. . . . But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children-- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. NIV
