January: A time to Renew Our Covenant with God - Bishop Coyner

As United Methodists, the month of January offers us the opportunity to make that new beginning in the Wesleyan tradition by reaffirming our covenant with God. Scripture teaches us that God's covenant with us is eternal and calls us to recommit our lives to God. In Jesus Christ, we see the fulfillment of the promise in Jeremiah 31:31-34 of a new covenant, written upon our hearts.

Dan Benedict reminds us of our need for such a time of covenant renewal: "At the heart of Christian devotion is a sense that we are not our own, but that through God's claim upon us in Christ through baptism, we are God's servants. From time to time, Christians need to make a solemn renewal of the covenant, lest we hold back from God what we once gave to God, but over time have hoarded for ourselves."

John Wesley wrote a covenant prayer, number 607 in the UM Hymnal:
I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,
sp exalted for thee or brought low by thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things
sp to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
spthou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
splet it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

sp- The Men of the Winchester District
