Praise to the Promise Keeper
“being fully assured that what God had PROMISED, He was able also to perform.”
Have you ever promised something and then couldn’t or didn’t fulfill your promise? If you have, you know what a horrible feeling it is. Maybe we promised, “I’ll never say that again.” Then we did. Or, we may have said to ourselves or even to God, “I promise. If you’ll get me out of this mess, I’ll never do that again.” Or, “I’ll do better next time.” But, we failed to keep our promise. Or, maybe it’s hard for you to trust people because they’ve made promises to you that they didn’t keep. However, when it comes to God, we can be fully assured that what He promises, He is able to do and will do. For many, these are scary days. Natural disasters, war, disease, and civil unrest can make us feel unsure of where we can turn and who we can trust. If we’re feeling a little off base or unsure of what the future holds, it would be a good time to open our Bibles and reread God’s promises. His are the ones we know are sure and true.
Heavenly Father, in our changing world that is filled with civil unrest, disease, and disasters, we praise You that You are faithful to keep Your promises and that You are able to do what You promise. Our trust rests in You, Lord.
