The Consistent Keeper of Promises

What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Not at all! (Romans 3:3-4)

The more time we spend in the Word of God, the more familiar we become with His promises. The evil one likes to sow seeds of doubt in our minds — particularly when we are messing things up — to cause us to shrink back from the life God is calling us to live and pressing into God’s promises. But today’s passage makes one thing perfectly clear: Nothing we do can nullify any of the thousands of promises God has made to His people. I’d like to encourage you with just a few of those promises today, promises taken from both the Old and New Testaments:

God has promised . . .

To be near us when we pray – Deuteronomy 4:7
To be with us wherever we go – Joshua 1:9
To be our peace – Judges 6:24
To turn our darkness into light – 2 Samuel 22:29
To fill our dry valleys with water – 2 Kings 3:16
To direct our steps – Proverbs 3:6
To bind up our wounds – Hosea 6:1
To be our refuge in times of trouble – Nahum 1:7
To make us fishers of men – Matthew 4:19
To give us rest – Matthew 11:28
To give us the Holy Spirit – John 14:16
To come back and take us to be with Him – John 14:3

Remember, what God has promised, God will do. He has assured us that “What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do” (Isaiah 46:11). God is the consistent keeper of His promises. He has never broken a promise in the past, and He is not about to start now. That is because He does not change (Malachi 3:6). He does not lie, and He does not change His mind (Numbers 23:19).

Look to the promises of God. Rest in them, trust in them, and let them propel you into the perfect plan and purpose He has for your imperfect life.

This is the Gospel.  This is grace for your race.  NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
