—Exodus 19:1-6
by: Irene B. Saunders.
The Lord God establishes the conditions for his covenant. He provided the Israelites protection when he led them out of Egypt and showed them his great power, carrying them to safety and freedom. Fulfilling their purpose of being “a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19:6) would mean staying true to him in all things.
We have the same opportunity to be under God’s covenant. Are we falling short as the Israelites did by doubting, complaining, and disobeying? God always keeps his side of the covenant. There are times when we fail to hold up our side in obedience, but we can still trust in God’s faithfulness.
