When You're Tired of Failed Promises, Romans 4:21, Promise Keeper, Lies | Debbie Taylor Williams

Have you ever promised something and then 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, maybe we said to God, “I promise if you get me out of this mess, I’ll do better next time.” Then we failed to do as we said. Or, maybe we don’t trust people because they’ve made promises to us they didn’t keep. When it comes to God, however, Romans 4:21 assures us “that what God PROMISED, He was able also to perform.” In other words, other people, or we, may be well-intentioned, but fail. Not God, though. What He promises, He will do. What a blessing to know that God keeps His promises. In the midst of failed promises and lies, it’s a great time for us to read God’s promises in the Bible. We can smile as we read them because we know they are true. Which of God’s promises are your favorites? Please let me know in the “Comment” section below. I’d love to hear from you.

Heavenly Father, in a world that is filled with lies, failed promises, we praise You for being a faithful promise keeper.
