"He Remembered His Covenant"

“He Remembered His Covenant”

Blessing folk!

One of the greatest Words in the Word…
“Nevertheless”

We have seen how the people of the Lord turned against Him.
They did horrific things.

Then this…

Psa 106:44-45
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He heard their cry;
And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.


The people would sin.
They would receive the just fruit.
They would then call upon the Lord.
Many examples in the book of Judges…

Jdg 2:18
When the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed and afflicted them.


Why did the Lord look upon their distress?
Why did He relent from the judgment that He brought?

Because He remembered His Covenant.
God is Covenant making.
God is Covenant keeping.
We must understand the Covenant relationship we have with God.

He remembered His Covenant with His people for their sake.
He relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.

His lovingkindness is beyond measure.

We do not assume upon His lovingkindness.
We rejoice in it!
