This week we begin worship with:
I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord GOD, and you became mine.
We worship at Christ Covenant Church. We are astutely aware of the covenant God made with Adam, Noah, Abraham, and the New Covenant in Christ Jesus.
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
But we often forget how desperately we actually need it. Without it we have nothing to cover our shame. We are exposed and undefended (ʿervâ). We need this every day.
We are also more willing to use the phrase “my Savior” than “your servant”. We are His every day.
Let’s keep these in mind as we worship Him this day.
