We by nature are covenant breakers.

We are by nature people whose words cannot always be trusted.

But God's word cannot be broken.

There's this crazy thing that I don't know where it came from in Christian circles where

when we're at conferences and people come up to me with their Bible and ask me to write my

life verse, sign their Bible and write my life verse. And I said, I'm not sure what a life verse

is.

But I frantically thought about different places that I could sign, and so I finally

came up with one, and there was a little devilishness in my selection in Genesis 1517,

which I write it down and invariably, people will come back 10 or 15 minutes later

after they look it up, scratching their head and saying, did you mean to write this verse?

And I say, yes, it's that verse in Genesis 1517 where it says.

And that night when the sun had set, this smoking oven and burning torch passed between the pieces.

And they look at me and say, that's your favorite verse?

I say, yeah, that's my favorite verse.

Why is that your favorite verse?

Because if you look at Genesis 15, it is the occasion in which God made a promise to Abraham.

And Abraham said to God, how can I know for sure that you will do what you say, you will

do?

And God condescended to Abraham's weakness to his unbelief.

And he said, Abraham, go and get these goats and these animals and cut them in half

and put them as a path like a gauntlet on the ground.
