I'm Just Grumpy

Hey all,
Do you ever feel like everyone will just have to put up with you today because you just feel grumpy and you don't know how to shake it? I find myself in this trap so often I thought I'd write a little discovery I've made. It's called covenant.
When a person gives their lives over to Christ, they form what is called a "covenant relationship." Very similar to that of marriage, or at least what marriage should be, except this relationship is with our Creator. In the Old Testament, David and Jonathan, the king's son (just a note--Jesus is also a "King's Son"), came into covenant with one another. When this happened, Jonathan gave David his Kingly robes to wear. In essence, David was now Jonathan, he represented Jonathan. As Christians we are now wearing kingly robes, The KING'S robes. We have come into covenant with our Creator and now represent Him. It's not about me anymore, it's all about Him and making sure I am rightly representing the One that I have come into covenant with--just some food for thought the next time you feel like just being a grump.
