If we need to borrow money, rent an apartment or buy a car, we are asked to sign on the dotted line. Contracts are built on distrust, protecting us from liability if the person doesn’t hold up her end of the bargain. Yet healthy, lasting relationships are built on trust, not distrust. The deepest and most eternal trust that undergirds our lives comes from a relationship with God, who has given all to be with us and keeps not only God’s own promises but ours as well, in an unbreakable love known as covenant. Our worship during the season of Lent will reflect on the covenant promises that bind God and us together.
