His Promise

God's Word to Abraham, of whom I am counted a descendant:

Genesis 17.7 I'm establishing my covenant between me and you, a covenant that includes your descendants, a covenant that goes on and on and on, a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants.

Whoa! Did you get that?! "
...a covenant that goes on and on and on,a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants."

He is totally committed, forever and ever stuck with a promise that will not end, a contract that will never run out. It won't be spent or depleted, never emptied or exhausted. This covenant is solvent, completely dependable; it's water tight and thoroughly reliable. Always there. Going on and on and on. He will always be our God. Forever and ever.

Now isn't that good, good news?

The reminder brought fullness of joy to this frail heart once again.
