For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. Hebrews 8:7, NIV We only emphasize that Christian life we are in is not based on another form of religious ritual but on a covenant. The question is what type of covenant are you in? Is it a covenant of religion or a covenant of love? It should be a covenant of love. Love is a person and that is God (see 1 John 4:16). The covenant we are in is a covenant based on who He is and not on who we are. It's based on what He has done and not on what we have done. When you sign an agreement form, you understand what type of covenant or agreement you are signing in. And this is the reason why still many Christians missed the true essence of Christianity. It's because they don't understand the covenant they are in. In result, many are so called Christians are still living a life like they don't have Christ. There's no real transformation happened. They think Christian...
"He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,
And under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and a wall."
Psalms 91:4 (Amplified Bible)
The most talked news in the world today is covid-19. We can always see in the news the rising of its cases from different countries. The result is many people are being troubled today on how they will protect themselves from these viruses. Goverments have issued safety protocols on how we will prevent these viruses. Of course, there's nothing wrong with safety protocols, we should follow it, but don't forget our real protection only comes from God.
How are you protected?
As a believer in Christ, you are completely covered by your Almighty Father from all kinds of evil works including corona virus. In our key verse today, pinions and wings there is speaks of God's protection and closeness. Just imagine an eagle protecting its chicks inside its wings. That's how you are closed and protected by your Heavenly Father.
Lets meditate on these things. Let's focus on Jesus. Don't focus on what the devil is doing but focus on what God is doing in the world today. Christ has already overcame the world 2,000 years ago. Christ has already purchased our wholeness and healing at the cross. He has already overcame all the negative situation you are facing in. Let's be confident in the love of God. Inside the love of your Heavenly Father, you are completely covered. You are completely protected and provided in Christ.
Thought for the day:
"Inside the love of my Heavenly Father, I am completely covered in Christ!"
