Remember, God Keeps His Promises

Psalm 105:1,2,5 says, "Oh, Give Thanks To The Lord! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples, sing to Him, sing Psalms to Him; talk of all His wondrous works . . . remember His marvelous works which He has done." Notice three times in these verses we are encouraged to tell others about how God keeps His promises.

Psalm 105:6-10 says, "O seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is The Lord our God; His judgements are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac, and conformed it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant."

The Jewish people are called "A Seed Of Abraham." What does this mean? Jehovah God established His Covenant with Abraham and all His descendants, The Jewish People. Genesis 17:7 shows God saying to Abraham, "I will establish My Covenant between Me and you and your descendants." Also, Genesis 17:10 says, "This is My Covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you."

Frequently, we hear people refer to God as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. What does this mean? Genesis 17:19 shows God continuing to speak to Abraham about establishing His Covenant, "Then God said: 'No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My Covenant with him for an everlasting Covenant.'" The Abrahamic Covenant continued through Isaac.

Isaac had a son named Jacob and just before Isaac died he spoke to Jacob saying, "May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may be an assembly of peoples; and give you the blessing of Abraham." {Genesis 28:3-4} The Abrahamic Covenant continues through Isaac, Jacob and their descendants through 2,500 years to the present day.

Next week's message will exam how Jehovah God keeps the Abrahamic Covenant by completing all His promises for the Israelites. Following, we will study how God keeps His promises in the birth of His Son, Jesus. 

Bless His Holy Name!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
