In this day and age, a covenant is a "radical idea." Yes, people know what it means and may even enter into a covenant of some sort with another. But how seriously are those covenants taken? Marriages are falling apart all around us. People join churches, covenant to work together, and then huff off the first time something doesn't go their way. A covenant is not to be taken lightly! God honors those who work to keep their covenants. If God took covenants as lightheartedly as most people in this time do, we would be in serious trouble. Take your promises seriously, work to heal your relationships, and lean on God for the strength to 'hang in there" when it feels hopeless. Rejoice that God always keeps his promises with us!
