Remember to Obey

Psalm 103: 18 “…with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.”

This verse is the second half of the one we wrote about yesterday, about how God’s love goes on to our family even after we’re gone.

It stands to reason that if abuse, alcoholism, depression, and other maladies affect our children as they grow up in a home where these run rampant, that when the love of God is present, it too transcends generations.

God makes a covenant with us when we turn to Him to love Him, and obey Him.  It’s just like the covenant we see in godly marriages.  Promises are made, and vows exchanged.  And God never reneges on his end of the relationship.  You can count on Him to keep his promises to you.

But you must remain faithful to him.

But wait! We just said that His love is higher than the heavens, and his forgiveness is as far as the east is from the west!  It is!  But when we mess up (and we will), we must repent (ask Him to forgive) and we are right back in good standing with the one who says His love never fails (and it won’t.)

Stop the madness in your home that you see manifested in your children, and turn to Him.  He can correct and heal that which you can never fix on your own.  And you can change the pattern of destruction into a path of life.
