HEART THAT MAKES AND KEEPS COVENANT BEFORE THE LORD

April 29 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 2Kings 23-25

Key Verse – 2Kings 23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

HEART THAT MAKES AND KEEPS COVENANT BEFORE THE LORD Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against temptation Surely, He is our hiding place from sin-inquisition… He considers us along our trouble and vexation Therefore, we trust in Him and His assured salvation. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against wickedness Surely, He is our holy shield from filthiness… He pardons us of our confessed sinfulness and worldliness Therefore, we seek Him and His cleansing forgiveness. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against backsliding Surely, He is our prevailing armor from offending… He guards us as well as our mind-choosing and faith-deciding Therefore, we rely in Him and His wise guiding. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against arrogance Surely, He is our humbling master from pride’s attendance… He vanquishes us of our vanity and extravagance Therefore, we delight in Him and His meekness-driven guidance. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against discontentment Surely, He is our sufficing grace from covetousness’ entrapment… He provides for us along our body fitness and spirit-requirement Therefore, we need Him and His satisfying fulfillment. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against deception-snares Surely, He is our protective defender from folly’s dares… He anchors us upon our dedication-zeal and service-shares Therefore, we cling to Him and His loving cares. Our heart makes and keeps covenant before the Lord against entertaining doubts Surely, He is our wise teacher Who knows the best for our whereabouts… He directs us for our good success along stewardship’s faithful routes Therefore, we serve Him and exalt His name with our praise-filled shouts.
