“Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things God, your God, promised you. It has all happened. Nothing’s left undone—not so much as a word.”
Joshua 23:14 MSG
In today’s world it’s difficult to find someone who actually does what he says he’ll do. In fact, at times we may find ourselves making promises that, deep down, we know we may not be able to keep.
We tell our children we will keep them safe. And although we try our best, something may someday bring them harm. Our husbands promise to love and cherish us. But some days it seems as if they have fallen down on the job. When we are hired, our bosses promise us benefits, vacation, and more. Then a few years later, we find ourselves in the unemployment line. When we get married, our female friends tell us having a baby is the most wonderful experience imaginable. Then when we become pregnant, all the labor horror stories come out!
The point here is that there is only one Someone we can rely on, only one who keeps His promises: God. He will never leave us. He will protect and defend us. And one day, He will bring us home to live with Him forever. All we need to do is trust and believe. That’s a promise!
Lord, thank You for giving me promises to hang on to, to rely on, to believe in. Leaning on Your promises, I not only survive but thrive! Amen.
