Covenant Celebration
The Bible says: “As well the singers as the players on
instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.” Psalms 87:7 (KJV)
Author Leo Buscaglia tells this story about his mother and their “misery dinner.” It was the night
after his father came home and said it looked as if he would have to go into bankruptcy because his partner had absconded
with their firm’s funds. His mother went out and sold some jewelry to buy food for a sumptuous feast. Other members
of the family scolded her for it. But she told them that “the time for joy is now, when we need it most, not next week.”
Her courageous act rallied the family.
The Psalmist also said in Psalms 46:1-3 (KJV) “God is
our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though
the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though
the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
Again in Psalms
84:1-7 (KJV) “How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for
the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the
swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. Blessed is the man whose
strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley
of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in
Zion appeareth before God.”
It does not matter if that washing machine, that dishwasher,
that oven, that lawn mower, that vehicle, that whatever it will be next should fail, none of it will take God by surprise.
He will see His Children through. Don’t just focus upon the bothers and endure but focus upon the Lord and the riches
He has for us in His eternal glory! Praise His holy name! tell someone about our Redeemer Friend and Savior today!
