Promises

  • Has someone you trusted, respected, or loved ever broke a promise, betrayed a confidence, or failed to keep their word? It hurts, doesn't it? The disappointment can feel more than you can bear.

    At times, I thought God failed me. (Yes, I did. Have you been there too?) I now know that it was when God didn't meet my expectations or fulfill my desires--which is not the same as a failed promise.

    I have learned to more carefully discern His Word to recognize the difference between the two. And that has transformed our relationship.

Then he said: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David. (2 Chr 6:4 NIV)
