"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments." Deuteronomy 7:9
It was announced yesterday that USPlabs, which sold the best-selling workout supplement Jack3d, will face criminal charges for the unlawful sale of nutritional supplements, supplements no doubt many runners have purchased. The indictment asserted that, despite the claims of USPlabs that the supplements were manufactured from plant extracts, they were actually made from a synthetic stimulant.The Assistant Attorney General on the case said, "many of these products are not what they purport to be or cannot do what the distributors claim they can do."
In other words, the company failed to fulfill their promise. Let's face it though, in today's world there are not many people or companies we can trust. But isn't it great to know that there is someone we can trust completely? Someone whose vows are never left unfulfilled? Deuteronomy 7:9 tells us this about our Heavenly Father, "he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments."
A covenant is defined as "an agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not do something specified." God has promised that, if we love him and keep his commandments, he will show mercy and do good to those that love him...that would be you and me! Oh praise God for a promise we can stand on, one that we know will always be fulfilled.
Heavenly Father, thank you for loving us and for promising us that you always will so long as we love you and follow your ways. How wonderful it is to know that we will never have to doubt what you have pledged and can believe every word that you have written in your Word. May we look to it daily as we search for your will for our lives. It's in your precious name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
