Often people spend a lot of time looking at the covenants God has made with us, his children. However, sometimes we fail to remind ourselves of the covenant we have made to God as well.
When you become a Christ follower you enter a covenant of allowing Him to be the Lord of all our days, until the end, and we promised to submit to His ways.
In reality and if we are honest, this is not always easy. We seperate our lives in to sections and give God what we don't want, or we hide an area of our lives from him.
I recently read this prayer by John Wesley in my devotions, and it has really challenged me to daily submit myself to Him, and to renew the covenant I faithfully and wholeheartedly made.
"I am no longer my own, but Thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt; put me to doing, put me to suffering; let me be employed for Thee or laid aside for Thee, exalted for Thee or brought low for Thee; let me be full, let me be empty; let me have all things, let me have nothing; I freely and heartily yield all things to Thy pleasure and disposal"
Perhaps today you need to commit to God and allow him to be Lord of your life! Wonderful news if that is you! But also just maybe you need to renew your commitment to God today, and perhaps the heavens rejoice in that moment also?
Live everyday for him!
God bless
