A Question Of A Pledge
January 13, 2023
Daily Reading – Genesis 1 – 2 / Genesis 27 – 28 / Matthew 9:18-38
GOD’S WORD:
Genesis 28:20-21 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
We have probably all said this pledge at one time in our life if we are raised in United States. However, what are we pledging. We are not promising to be faithful to a piece of cloth. While I am still an American who holds our flag dear, it is not the cloth that I so proudly align with. It is the country for which it stands. We are making a vow, a solemn promise to align ourselves with the laws and avail ourselves of the liberties of this country that this flag represents. We do so based on what we know to be true about this country and the promises it makes to its people.
GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:
Pledges, or vows are a serious matter. They are a solemn promise to something or someone else. God takes His pledges to us very serious and keeps every single one of them.
How serious are you about your pledge to God? Is He leading your life today?
