Beloved, we God is a covenant keeping God who sustains those who trust and rely on Him.
Such is the relationship that God desires to have with those of us who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
The psalmist declared such relationship in Psalm 40
Psalmsβ¬ β40β¬:β1β¬-β6β¬, β8β¬ βAMPβ¬β¬
I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay, And He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear [with great reverence] And will trust confidently in the Lord. [Also read Ps 5:11]
Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not regard the proud nor those who lapse into lies.
Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is none to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of your wonders, They would be too many to count.
Sacrifice and meal offering You do not desire, nor do You delight in them; You have opened my ears and given me the capacity to hear [and obey Your word]; Burnt offerings and sin offerings You do not require. [Also read Mic 6:6-8]
I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.β
[Also read Jer 31:33; Heb 10:5-9]β
