[S] Ezekiel 16:60 --
60 "Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
[O] God mentions all the disobedient and rebellious acts by His people and says this statement of "nevertheless, ...." To me this word has a ton of meaning because God nevertheless loves me and shows His grace to me even though I totally do not deserve all that from Him. Even though I do my best to comply with His ways I am so far from being perfect; in fact I fail on so many things it's not even funny. Nevertheless God says He will remember His covenant of accepting me into His Kingdom and will be with me always.
[A] My faith must be founded in His "nevertheless" grace because without it I am only going to rely on my own works and that leads to death.
[P] Dear Father, Your amazing grace overwhelms me as I meditate on this passage. Please continue to pour that grace into my heart such that I would serve others and You with the overflowing grace out of my heart. In Jesus' name. Amen.
