trusting in the new

Behold, the days are coming,
says the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant...


I will put My law in their minds,
and write it on their hearts;
and I will be their God, and
they shall be My people.


They all shall know Me,
from the least of them
to the greatest of them,
says the Lord.
For I will forgive their iniquity,
and their sin I will remember no more.

Jeremiah 31:31, 33-34 NKJV

And there will be those of us
who do not receive Him,
who do not believe Him.

But then He gives,
as His statement of proof...
​
Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
the ordinances of the moon and
​the stars for a light by night.
Who disturbs the sea,
and it's waves roar...
The Lord of hosts is His name.

Jeremiah 31:35

If God can be trusted
to light the day with the sun,
day, after day, after day.
When we do not even ask.
when we do not even thank Him.

If God is so good to light
our darkness
with moon and stars,
that we should not fear...
night, after night, after night.
Though we never considered
the night without them.
Yet we wish upon these,
His pinpoint creations.

If God commands the seas,
tossing them about
with just a word;
Yet He causes them
to roll easy upon the shore,
licking the toes of a child
with just a look.

Then surely He can be
trusted as good and powerful,
merciful and true.

And He truly is the God
who created and controls
all that surrounds.
Why would He not also
want to care for us,
within that very creation?

When one covenant was rejected,
He lovingly sought to give another...
never failing to connect with us.

Let us use our hearts to believe.
Let us receive the faith He bestows.

Word of God
train me, today...

To accept Your word
with understanding of mind,
and wisdom of heart.

To receive Your forgiveness,
ever grateful that
You remember my sin no more.
