Then the Lord told him, “I am the Lord who brought
you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.” But
Abram replied, “O Sovereign Lord, how can I be sure that I will actually
possess it?”…So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said, “I have
given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to
the great Euphrates River…” Genesis
15:7–8, 18, NLT
When God promised to give Abraham the land, Abraham asked, “God, how can I be sure?” And as if His word wasn’t good enough, God went one step further and cut a covenant with Abraham, binding Himself irrevocably to it to reassure His friend that He would do as promised.
Let me say something about God’s covenants. They can never be broken, only replaced with a better one. My friend, God will do as He has promised you, and to set your heart at ease, He bound Himself to a covenant with you when He cut it with your representative, Jesus, at Calvary.
So rest easy in the knowledge that you have a covenant-keeping God who CANNOT break His covenant or renege on His promises. Simply lean on HIS faithfulness and like Abraham, you will walk in your inheritance and healing. (Article and Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince used with kind permission).
