1. What is the relevance of the covenant of God in your
life?
Covenant is a promise or an agreement between person to person
or things. And when two people make a covenant, it binds them
together to carry out its provisions of the covenant.
The relevance of the covenant of God in my life is it strengthen me
when I am at my weakest, it lifts me up when I am at the lowest because
God made a covenant with me that He is my savior and protector and
that I will commit my life with Him. Just like Noah I found grace in Him.
God told Noah that a great flood will come and He promised to
preserve Noah’s family and the living creatures which took into the ark
that he and his sons made. Noah obeyed Him and to assure them, God
made a covenant with Noah that He would never again destroy the
earth with a flood. God gave them a sign of this covenant – the rainbow.
I have been so emotional these past few weeks. I’ve been battling
from different types of worries and doubts. Everything was put into test.
My patience, love for people, even my faith. I was totally lost and
broken. But you know what’s amazing? It’s when God made a covenant
with me and gave a sign not to give up – the smile, the laughter, and the
joy that my son brings in my heart.
covenant in these critical times?
This was the most critical year that I didn’t see coming – the one
that shook me out of complacency. When I learned to stop being
compliant, to demand what was rightfully mine, refuse to settle for less
than what I deserved.
I lost patience with small talks and fell in love with midnight
conversations because it was when God told me that I could cross
desserts and oceans in doing what I love and then it is what I did as His
true child, I held the ones I love, closer – letting go of the things that
weren’t meant to be mine. Looked my past dead in the eye and said
“you weren’t welcome here anymore”. I chased away the cobwebs that I
had lingered far too long. And told the moon I was sorry – this is now
my time in the sun. God saved me a million times already, not just
during critical times but mostly when I’m battling between life and death.
He showed me the purpose of life and that is enough for me to remain
true to Him. And I will start with the ones I love most. Because that is all
He’s asking for me to do – I am true to Him if I am only true to myself.
Above all, I am working on myself to be deserving of the promises
God told me – the signs he magically puts and drops in my way
especially when I’m lost and redirected will never be neglected. I will
remain true to myself and in His eyes.
