A COVENANT FOR WANDERERS (January 05, 2024)


Listen Later

Make covenants, not resolutions, as you walk into the year, for covenants give us company in keeping what we pledge. A resolution with no witness is too often just a wish, a good intention with nothing but our declining willpower to make the vital difference.

 The covenants we really need are bigger than our diets and more urgent than our visits to the gym. We need companions to whom we’ll make the most important promises of all: to tell each other just the truth; to remind each other of how good the gospel is; to continue walking side by side through any guilt or fear the new year brings.           

Agree with someone in your life—a spouse, a friend, another sinner saved by grace—with whom you’ll travel in days ahead—by phone, by app, by real steps on real roads. Pledge perseverance, not perfection, for walking with another sinner will reveal how much you both need constant grace.        

And when you stumble, as you will, a hand will lift you up, and brush you off, and help you keep on walking.         

As this year starts, invite some other to what Jesus now invites you: “Come walk with me: keep covenant.”         

That’s how you’ll stay in grace. -Bill Knott
