Week One: Deuteronomy 7:9

Deut 7:9: “Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.”

1. God keeps His constant love on us and keeps His promises for a thousand generations (forever), as long as we keep His commandments and love Him.  If we don't, then He is not obligated to keep His love on us or His promises to us.  How awesome is it that He still chooses to love us, though!
2. The LORD your God is God, the faithful God.  There is only one God, and the God of Israel, Yahweh, I AM, is the ONLY God.
3. The LORD your God is God, the faithful God.  How is He faithful?  He keeps His promises and loves us with a ever present love. 

This is such a fantastic verse to begin with, reminding us of God's constant faithfulness and love to us.  It's baffling that the Son would willingly take on our sins and die for us, and yet He did, and because of that God keeps His love on us forever.  The same is true for the Israelites here, as they wandered from God off and on so many times in the Old Testament.  It's crazy that God still cherished them as His people.
