A God of His Word

As a businessman, I know that the true value of a working relationship is trust.  So, when I give someone my word and shake on it, it’s a done deal, a solemn pledge.

In this respect, I have a personal covenant with the Lord.  I ask His blessing on those for whom I pray in our covenant.  In return, I promise, as a sign of my commitment, to follow His laws.  It’s the deal I make.  In return, I live in expectancy (no, not expectation, but expectancy) that He will also keep His word as given in the Bible. 

My point:  A “deal” with God is not exactly a business deal, but it seems to me (and I’m no Bible scholar, mind you), that, as believers, we are asked to keep our promise to God, and in so doing (or at least in honestly trying), we have every reason to believe He will bless us with spiritual abundance and all that we ask.  Pretty simple, really, eh? – jri

“I have taken an oath and confirmed it,

          that I will follow your righteous laws.”

-         Psalm 119:106        

My brother is safely back in the U.S.  He described his travels as mixed:  beautiful people, beautiful country, challenges so easily met in this country but so deadly in Uganda.  He asked me to thank all of you for your prayers.  God bless.
