Leviticus 26-27, Psalm 39
Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT)
“But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the Lord their God. For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”
In Leviticus 26:44–45, the Lord tells Moses that the covenant relationship He has with His people is unbreakable. Father-God promises that He will remain faithful to His covenant even when His people are repeatedly unfaithful and disobedient. The Lord does not desire to destroy His people. Instead, Father-God desires restoration and uses discipline as a tool for correction. The Lord’s nature is steadfast, and we can trust in His faithfulness and reliability.
These verses remind me that even when I have strayed from the Lord, the Holy Spirit has always promised restoration if I was repentant and returned to Father-God. Over the years, the Lord’s mercy toward me has revealed His nature and what it truly means to live in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. There were moments when I was absolutely convinced that Father-God had forsaken me. Yet through a steady inner prompting, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that the Lord was patiently waiting for me to turn back to Him.
When I finally did, I understood how the prodigal son must have felt when his father celebrated his return. The Lord welcomed me back with open arms, and now I feel His love present in my life every day.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who always desires restoration with you—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.
