God's Promises

How much weight does the word "promise" hold with you? Depending on how you grew up, you might never use the word because you feel the gravity of its implications and other might use it frequently because whether you keep it or not, it does not make much of a difference to you. Most of the time, however, we remember the times when someone broke their promise to us and not when they kept it. Unfortunately, the mistake that people have made in our lives are projected unto our God, Who is faithful to keep His promises. For instance, when God promises to provide for our needs, He means it.

It is a truth, then, which will stand forever, that "God will supply all our need, according to his riches in glory, by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). If any of His people lived and died without their spiritual need being supplied (I say it with all reverence), God would forfeit His word. But He will never allow anyone to charge Him with that; He will never let anyone say that He was not faithful to His promise.

God is always faithful to keep His promises. He is never hasty with His words. Place your trust in the God Whose faithfulness none can fathom, and believe in Him because He will not disappoint you.
