The power of Gods covenant

Ps 25 3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

The Psalmist is saying that if we live with shame then we are not hoping in God. When we are saved we are delivered from shame. This verse is distinguishing between two states ...the first state was our old life. We lived in the kingdom of Satan. He was our father. The kingdom was a description of words that limited us to be in complete darkness. Every thought we had was imaginary. This kingdom is described in this verse as a kingdom of treachery. We belonged to the kingdom that treated Gods covenant with disdain. We lived our lives in our own power and confidence. We did not feel a hopelessness that was in need of Gods covenant actions. We lived as enemies of God and His covenant people. 

But when we are saved our hope is based upon Gods covenant promises. This verse is describing two opposite views of life. This hope is not really our hope but its God gift to us. Its God coming to us and delivering us. Its God putting Himself on display and challenging us to boldly hold Him to His covenant promises. We are only faithful to our covenants because we treat Gods covenant as a legal declaration of our innocence. There is no value of a heavenly covenant that does not deliver in the curses and blessings. We live in hope because God is actively working on our behalf as a big God!All of these gifts that He has lavished on us are more important to Him than to us. We believe that Gods hope is the cause of our covenant faithfulness.  

Now listen to me Gods covenant is more important than our struggle with sin and sorrow. Gods covenant is a sure foundation. It does not change. When we experience the effects of the curse we can rise up in uniting ourselves with Gods covenant vengeance as the purifying effect of our anger.  You see there is no time where the effects of the curse are powerful enough to overturn Gods covenant faithfulness. Because God has established His covenant He has provided us with a perfect kingdom in which we can view our struggle as following a Commander of an army who goes out and slays all of His enemies. The end of corruption and destruction is the full effect of the curses. God has spoken the curses in showing the power over the destructive effects of corruption and violence. There is no temporary place where God has a lesser judgement. The end of the blessings is the full praise of God. There is no lower pleasure of God that does not overcome all false happiness. Speak both of these covenant powers to your hearts desire!
