Ezek 16:59-63
Meditation
God Made a Covenant with
Humanity.
God loved Israel as a young
girl and a woman. The woman (Israel) he loved was unfaithful. Human beings
are in a way an unfaithful lot. The Lord teaches us faithfulness and
commitment. This was the story of men/women and people in general. In today’s generation
unfaithfulness is not a new story. As ever there is a lot of unfaithfulness and
lack of commitment. Many do not keep their commitment and word. They move from person
to person, job to job, value to value and the people have come to believe no
steady value and job, policy and no permanent commitment.
It is all convenience,
gain and usefulness. We believe that the world is a flux and there is nothing
permanent. Sad to see the world believes in change and does not believe that
human beings are precious, and their lives are valuable. They believe in a valueless
society only a utility-oriented attitude. God is committed to a cause and made a
covenant with humanity. As result, God went the extent of sending his Son Jesus
to Save humanity as fulfilment of the covenant he made to Israel.
Do we believe in the commitment
of God to humanity?
