He is. Yes, God is vocal and confident in His covenant with me.
“26I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27My dwelling place shall be with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 28Then the nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” — Ezekiel 37:26-28 (ESV)
Notice there in verses 27 and 28 that God lets it known that He belongs to the people and the people belong to Him. And then He makes no bones about the fact that this is “forevermore”. I have to remember this as I go into my days and do the work of God. I am His and He is with me forever, regardless of what I happen to be doing. I belong to Him and He will care for me always.
Also, He belongs to me. God is there for me. He cares for me and ensures that I have what is needed. I have a servant in God that gives of Himself each day for me. I am grateful for Him and all that He provides and let Him know each day in my conversations (prayers) with Him.
There has to be more. I have to take this relationship public and be vocal about it. I have to let others know that He is mine and I am His. I have to wear Him on the outside of my coat so that others will see and not just keep Him to myself.
And how? Well I have to simply live it and then speak it. Where there is the opportunity, I have to not be guarded about my relationship. When there are others with needs, I have to serve that need in His name and let them know that I am doing in the name of God. I have to not just say I will, but I must take action. Like praying for someone in the moment and not just telling them that I am praying for them, more of that I have prayed for them. I have to give of at the time and not that I am contemplating giving. When I have the means, I give at that moment. I have to remember that saying it does not make it true, it is the actions that people see and understand and not just the words.
I have to be vocal in my everlasting relationship with God. I have to be sure that everyone knows. God did His part and was vocal in it and now it is my turn to do the same.
What does your relationship with God look like and say about you? Are you guarded in that relationship? What if you were vocal and let everyone know of that relationship and took action to show it?
