Deuteronomy 26 – 29
Is there anything that will help the people of God to keep the covenant with the Lord? Perhaps it’s a matter of ‘carrot and stick’; there are blessings for obediently walking the way of the Lord, but then there are curses for when they choose to be disobedient. It is so easy for us to fall into this way of thinking with thoughts such as “Bad things are happening to me and so I must have been bad in some particular way”. That is certainly what living under the Old Covenant was like, but praise the Lord he invites us into a New Covenant, which has a Saviour, who has paid the price for our sin. Let us be those who are quick to return to the Lord and step into that amazing grace of the New Covenant.
The Revd. David Hildred
