day no. 16,158: generational, covenantal

1 Chronicles 16:11-17
Seek the LORD and his strength;
seek his presence continually!
Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant

God works through generations and covenants. It passes from father to son to grandson, from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob. God's promises never fail, they always follow and they are ever waiting for us where we are going.

Covenants are everlasting. They stand as long as the ones who make them, so when eternal God makes a promise, it stands eternally. When Forever says, "Forever," He means it. When the Everlasting promises "everlasting," it isn't hyperbole.

The Lord has promised a blessing upon those who love Him. He has promised faithful generations to follow the faithful. The faithful will remember and rejoice in His covenant forever.

To remember is to rejoice.
To rejoice is to reproduce.

You cultivate what you celebrate and covenants water the garden, replenish the land, freshen the fruit, and sweeten the soul. The promised land is flowing with milk and honey and the generations will gather at the feast prepared by the One they call Faithful.
