Manna for Your Morning

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the entire community of Israel. He lifted his hands toward heaven, and he prayed, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in all of heaven above or on the earth below. You keep your covenant and show unfailing love to all who walk before you in wholehearted devotion. — 1 Kings 8:23 (NLT) People may disappoint you by not keeping their promise to you, but our God is a Covenant-Keeper. God shows personal favoritism to no man (See Galatians 2:6 NKJV)  He watches over His Word to perform it. And Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant. Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. (See Hebrews 12:24,7:22,8:6) Our heavenly Father is committed to His people. Let us walk with Him, in wholehearted devotion.

Like a will that takes effect when someone dies, the new covenant was put into action at Jesus’ death. His death marked the transition from the old plan to the new one, canceling the old obligations and accompanying sins, and summoning the heirs to receive the eternal inheritance that was promised them. He brought together God and his people in this new way. — Hebrews 9:16-17 (MSG) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). When we accept Christ as our Savior, we transition from being lost to saved, from the old obligations to new promises, from being poor to being rich. As we continue to walk with God, we transition from being full of doubt, to having great faith, from being defeated and in despair, to triumphing over our troubles and walking in victory.
