COVENANT with GOD.
Remember
back in the olden day when a man's handshake was as good as his word? Where did
we lose that? But even before that, there was something more important than a
handshake. Now think on this … what is a covenant?
There
is so much talk about our country nowadays, but no one does anything about it.
I heard this on radio a few days ago, then found it in writing. I wanted to
share. Please read to the very end, pray, do some soul searching, and listen to
God.
“I,
(state your name), alongside my fellow countrymen, and as a witness to my
nation and the Almighty, now come forward in humility to covenant that the Lord
is my God. I further covenant to remember to regularly commune with Him through
prayer; to turn away from sin and error; to rear my family in righteousness, in
patience, love, and kindness; to discern and sustain the law; and to perform my
several duties properly, punctually, and to the utmost.
Now,
if the Lord shall please to hear us, and inasmuch as we honor this covenant,
then shall His bounty be poured down upon us as has never been seen.
We
humbly implore and beg His protection and favor; that we may experience His
everlasting peace and concord; that our own sins, those of our family, those of
our nation may be pardoned; that the disunity in our country and suffering may
be healed, that once again our family shall delight in each other, and we shall
rejoice together, mourn together, and increase together. The Lord will be our
God and delight to dwell among our families, so that we partake of His wisdom,
power, goodness, and truth. Love and solidarity shall reign within our
households.
May
our nation unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His
kind care, for his protection, that He may promote the knowledge and practice
of true religion and virtue. He shall grant unto this nation temporal
prosperity as He alone knows to be best. No human counsel hath devised, nor
hath any mortal hand created this great nation. It is the gracious gift of the
Most High God. Only his tender care shall heal this nation's wounds. He will
raise it to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, union, and
plenty.
He has
made us a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. We enlist His
almighty hand that we may once again choose life, that we and our seed may live
by obeying His voice and cleaving to Him. He is our life and our prosperity.
May my family and this country ever stand in solemn testimony of the most High.
Amen.”
What
better time to show this than while your family is gathered this week. It needs
to be spread, read, promised, and remembered.
A
covenant with God is not to be broken. “If my people
SUGGESTION:
even better, print it out, sign it, place it where you will see and heed it
daily. Then share it with others.
“If My
people which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek
my face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and
heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14.
From the author: I made an oath to God live on air that has
been a decade in the making. Will you do the same? Glenn Beck.
May our nation have peace and a renewed commitment to the
basic tenets that our Founding Fathers established as a nation under God. npd
