Isaiah, Chapter 25, verse 3:
3 Therefore
a strong people will honor you, ruthless nations will fear you.
Pope Benedict XVI wrote in his Theology of the Covenant that we are a people of many faiths with one covenant with God. Therefore it is reasonable that strong people will honor us in our faith as we have the same covenant with the living God although we may worship in a different way.
What
are some of the traits we and our cousins in the covenant may have as strong
people? According to the daily elite-the voice of generation Y there are 20
things that strong people DON’T do[1]:
1.

on the past.

6.

7.

9.

10.

on the other hand, we must realize that ruthless nations will fear a covenant
people because ruthless nations are made up of ruthless people and ruthless
people fear what they cannot control.
