READING: Jeremiah 31:31-34
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt..”
Jeremiah 31: 31-32a
Ever had a long “To Do” list? These days the lists are nearly impossible to complete. Jeremiah explains how Israel and Judah broke God’s covenant by ignoring God and His commandments. They had their own priorities, their own “To Do” lists.
Jeremiah foretells that one day God will make a New Covenant with His people. You and I have the privilege of looking back at Christ’s fulfillment of this New Covenant. Jeremiah explains that in response to this new covenant, we need to have a Christ-filled heart that responds in obedience to our Lord’s “To Do” list.
So, try not to ignore God and take your own “To Do” lists too seriously. Those interruptions in your day are your Heavenly Father’s plan for your day, His “To Do” list for you, and part of His New Covenant.
Heavenly Father, Help me to boldly accept Your plan for my day. Amen.
