Covenant isn’t a feeling you follow—it’s a decision you make before the storm ever hits. Ruth made a covenant with Naomi when nothing about the situation looked promising. She wasn’t following comfort. She was following conviction.

There will be moments in your life when quitting looks easier. When the exit ramp feels justifiable. But covenant says, “Even though I don’t feel it right now, I’m staying faithful to what God connected me to.”

This is why I always teach: you don’t win in life by accident. You win when you’ve already made up your mind before the fight begins. Covenant is pre-decided faithfulness. It says, “I’ve settled this in my heart already.”
