PROMISE #183 - JULY 2
Promise #183:
I am faithful to keep My covenant of kindness to a thousand generations.
Deuteronomy 7:9 (WEB)
Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God,
who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him
and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
How long is a generation? Some say 40 years, and others say 100 years. Whatever the number, multiply it by one thousand! Our God and Father promises to be faithful to His kids for a thousand generations! This promise encourages us to know that our God is faithful and will always keep his covenant of love and mercy...always!
Often, the root of my struggles and anxieties is my difficulty believing this promise is true. Of course, I know that God is faithful, kind, and merciful. But my understanding of this promise has not fully possessed all my senses yet. If it did, I would never struggle with anxiety or worry.
I encourage you today if you can identify with these struggles. I believe that we are all on a journey of trust where God is convincing each of us more and more each day that He truly is trustworthy.
I think this statement from Andrew Bennett expresses it well... 'The longest journey that a person can make is the 18" journey from their head to their heart'.
We are becoming increasingly convinced that God is faithful, merciful, and kind and keeps His covenant of kindness for a thousand generations. The more we believe this promise to be true, the more we will yield to His love and rest in His goodness.
I pray that today, as you read this promise, it will become very real to you. I pray that you will know deep in your heart that your God and Father is faithful to keep His covenant of kindness to you for one thousand generations!

Responsive Prayer:
Thank you, Father, for your steadfast love that covers me and my family for a thousand generations. Even though I can sometimes waiver in my faith, I know you will always be faithful to me because your great love and your faithfulness will endure forever.
