Relationship & Covenants

“Yet the Lord would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.” (2 Chronicles 21:7)

Connections are important and we are naturally drawn to some people more than others, but in choosing the right people to join ourselves to, we should discern by the Holy Spirit those the Lord approves. It is our responsibility to guard those connections, placing relationships, associations, and covenants before the Lord, inquiring of Him and seeking His direction. 

Keep in mind that the Lord often leads us to break a connection—when He does, don’t delay. In your heart, make the decision, and then because the process will take time, ask wise men and women to watch for you. Right choices and plans are made available by the Lord but ultimately you will choose who and when, why and where.

The relationships I choose can prosper or drain me, nurture success for my future or lead me to heartache or loss. In every relationship, the Lord wants to lead, but ultimately, the choice and responsibility for the outcome are mine. Bottom line, the people I choose to spend time with define my future and determine my limitations and possibilities. 

Amen.
