Covenant

I will make an everlasting covenant with you. ~ Isaiah 55:3 (part)

In the same way, the Lord Jesus took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood...” ~ 1 Corinthians 11:25 (part -- NLT)
Lord Jesus, I'm so thankful for the new everlasting covenant that you established through your blood -- your sacrifice on our behalf. I'm way too casual about making promises to you. I think it is because I know that you are gracious. Help me to be mindful of the incredible cost you paid to keep me close to you. I want to closely follow you and be a covenant keeper -- like you. Amen.
