God's Promises Are Forever!
"And you know in all your hearts and
in all your souls that not one thing has
failed of all the good things which the
Lord your God spoke."
Joshua 23: 24
In 1971, the James Bond movie:
Diamonds Are Forever was released, and actor
Sean Connery promised it was his last Bond film.
He retired from the role, and others were cast
as the suave British agent.
But after suffering a series of movie flops
and an empty bank account, Connery broke
his promise
and filmed another Bond movie,
ironically titled Never Say Never Again.
Our Lord doesn’t change His mind or shift
with the circumstances. Every promise He
issues is perfectly good a thousand years
later. His unchangeable commitment to His
promises is called faithfulness.
God’s faithfulness allows us to have
total confidence in every promise He’s
written. It frees us from the grip of
anxious worry.
When we
harbor fears and needless vexations,
it’s not because God isn’t faithful, but because
we're doubting His ability to keep His promises.
Don’t do that! Find a fresh promise for today—
and trust Him!
"God never overpromises or underdelivers.
He always delivers on His promises, but
He does it on His timeline!"
