God keeps His promises

Prov. 30

Luke 17

Heb. 6

Heb. 7

 

I listen to a Christian radio station, and one of the regular commercials is from a local ministry that always has a brief, encouraging note from Scripture, and they always end the commercial with, "... and remember, God keeps His promises."

 

Before I began my reading this morning, I prayed that God would reveal something about Himself to me.  I love this passage at the end of Hebrews 6 about God's faithfulness:

13 For example, there was God's promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in his own name, saying:

 14 "I will certainly bless you,
      and I will multiply your descendants beyond number."

 15 Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

 16 Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater than themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding. 17 God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. 18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. 19 This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. 20 Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Wow!  I can trust God because He never lies, His word is always true, His Son Jesus has proven the way!

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for your promises that are always true.  Lord, I thank you for reaching out to humanity with the Cross at Calvary.  I pray that you will give me boldness to preach your Truth that never changes. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
