Passage Context

18And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
21And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

Devotional Reflection

LoveGratitudeHopeCompassion

God wanted Israel to always be true to Him. Even though His people had been unfaithful in the past, God forgave them and gave them hope that they could be brought back into a relationship with Him. If God was willing to pay such a huge price to do this, shouldn't we do the same for each other? But let's take it a step further. Let's start by being faithful to each other and to God.

Prayer

Dear God of compassion, Heavenly Father, please make my heart more forgiving and sensitive. Also, dear Father, please give me a faithful heart that won't break the promises I've made to You and other people. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
