Let’s make sure that our descendants will continue to be blessed by being the covenant keeper of our generation - Daily Bible Reflections April 10,2014

THE PROMISE   “I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant...” – Genesis 17:7          Her husband promised that he would take care of her and their family. He fulfilled that by being a very good provider. But suddenly, he suffered a massive heart attack and died. During the wake, a man approached the wife to inform her that her husband had called him to sell a land property so that his family would be provided for. When she asked the date and time of the call, it was when her husband was already unconscious, if not dead. Her husband fulfilled his promise to take care of his family even when it was physically impossible to do so.        The covenant we make when we get married is as binding as the covenant God made with Abraham. It transcends time, generations and physical barriers. God keeps His promise to take care of us even if we are unfaithful at times. There may be some who don’t even live godly lives but remain abundantly blessed. Maybe he or she had a godly parent or grandparent who prayed for his children or grandchildren, and God is honoring that person’s prayer. The blessing will continue to trickle down the generations because God is faithful to His convenant even when we are not.

I am reaping the blessing because of what she has done.   St. Magdalene of Canossa, pray for us.
