Deuteronomy 7:9 KJV:
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;
This same God, who has been working in the affairs of men from the days of Abraham, says that he is the same God, who is faithful to his words, keeping every covenant and promise he makes, ensuring that as long as he lives, his words shall come to pass. God always does his part because it is in his nature to be faithful. There's nothing else to add to his nature because it is all-encompassing and stable, predictable and constant. The reason why we do not enjoy the fullness of his grace and goodness will be a result of our own reaction to his nature.
Watch the words above: he keeps his covenant....... with those who fear him and keep his commandments. That's the sore point. Can we really say we fear the Lord? Do our lives point out to God? Am I laying the foundation of a generational blessing for my family? There's a joy in this verse too: what I do now is a seed that my generation will eat from. Many of us are enjoying the grace and favour that our parents enjoyed. Wouldn't it be nice if we do the same for our own children and generations too?
Nothing is inconsequential or unimportant. Everything is a seed sown into eternity. Watch what you sow, as the fruits of your life will outlive you. His time of favour is here.
