“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.” (Deuteronomy 7:9)

 Moses in his position as the leader of the Jews knew full well the tendency that they would have to compromise their (our) walk with the Lord. He points out to them and us, that if we love the Lord and are obedient to His commands, He is faithful to keep his covenants and mercy.

Yours in Christ,

Carl
