Our Covenant With God
Today the Lord has obtained your agreement: to be his treasured people, as he promised you, and to keep his commandments; for him to set you high above all nations that he has made, in praise and in fame and in honor; and for you to be a people holy to the LORD your God, as he promised. - Deuteronomy 26:18-19
The book of Deuteronomy names precisely the basis for all our choices in following God's ways: the agreement, or covenant, that God will love us in a special way ad that we, in turn, are to walk in God's ways. God's love for us means that not only do we have a special dignity, so does everybody else. God's love in our lives makes a difference in how we act and how we treat other people. We respond to God's generous covenant of love with us by treating others with the dignity and respect they deserve as sons and daughters of God.
Loving God, help us to appreciate your covenant of love with us.
