WHAT IS GOD THINKING ABOUT?

OK, I’m only human. I cannot pretend to know what God thinks about all the time. He reveals Himself up to a point but there are some things which we cannot know at this present time.

Deuteronomy 29:29 says: “Some things are hidden. They belong to the LORD our God. But the things that have been revealed in these teachings belong to us and to our children forever. We must obey every word of these teachings (God’s Word version).”

Thus whatever God chooses to reveal is revealed for the purpose of our obedience. The Old Testament covenants were instituted with this in mind.

Deuteronomy 29:9 says: “Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.” The New Covenant, instituted in Christ, is a whole new ball game, but this verse still holds true. There is blessing in the Covenant for us and no Christian would want to disqualify himself/herself by disobedience or by failing to live by God’s Word.

But, let’s face it. In the busy-ness of life, the covenant of God is not always uppermost in our minds. We push it into the background while we deal with whatever is more pressing. Not so with God. He is always mindful of His covenant with us.

 “He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant (Psalm 111:5).” This tells us what God is thinking about. He wants to bless us, and He has established Covenant for that purpose. So we may confidently assert that God is thinking about Covenant.

God will never forget the promises associated with His New Covenant. Nor will He suddenly decide that something else is more important, so that we get shunted down the divine priority list. He is always mindful of His covenant with us!
