“Covenant Which He Made With Abraham”
“Covenant Which He Made With Abraham”
Blessings folk!
In worshipping the Lord, Asaph and his relatives reminded the people of what the Lord had done for them.
1 Ch 16:16-21
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
As the portion of your inheritance.”
When they were only a few in number,
Very few, and strangers in it,
And they wandered about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people,
He permitted no man to oppress them,
And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying,
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
The Lord initiated and made covenant with Abraham.
The Lord continued the covenant by oath through Isaac.
The Lord confirmed the covenant to Jacob as a statute.
The Lord confirmed the covenant to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Because of the covenant faithfulness of the Lord they could trust and worship Him.
One element of the Covenant related to land.
The Lord gave them the land of Canaan.
It was their inheritance.
It still is.
He gave them this inheritance…
- When they were few in number
- When they were strangers in the land
- When they wandered from nation to nation
The Lord protected them…
- No man oppressed them
- He reproved kings for their sakes
- He would not allow His anointed ones to be touched
- He commanded His prophets to not be harmed
The Lord continues His covenant today.
Through HIs people.
And through those grafted in.
Much of the Word speaks to this…if we know how to hear.
Have eyes to see…ears to hear.
