They did not remain faithful to my covenant,
so I turned my back on them, says the Lord.
“This is the new covenant I will make
with my people on that day,10:16a Greek after those days. says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”10:16b Jer 31:33a.
17Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”
And my righteous ones will live by faith.10:38 Or my righteous ones will live by their faithfulness; Greek reads my righteous one will live by faith.
But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”10:37-38 Hab 2:3-4.
39But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.
Lord God,
Why is it so hard to remain completely faithful, Why am i too weak to resist all the temptations of this world. Lord again I plea with you to protect me from my weakness and make clear your power to deliver me to a relationship with you that will purify my thoughts and actions. Allow me to confess my past to your care so it may be removed from me and forgotten. May I live in the present completely trusting in your care and be a beacon of your hope to those around me.
It is for your Glory I seek to live.
In Jesus name,
Amen
